diversified When something is diversified, it is diverse, meaning varied. If your investments are diversified, it means you have put money in more than one place: real estate, stocks, bonds, race horses, gold, alligator farms, and so on. Diverse comes from a medieval Latin word diversificare, meaning âmake dissimilar.â If you have diversified something, you have made its parts different from each other. For example, if you want to make your diet more diversified, you make it a point to eat a wider variety of foods, or at least something beyond just scrambled eggs and macaroni and cheese.

Before 2010, higher-income taxpayers were subject to a phase-out rule that curtailed deductions for personal and dependent exemptions. That rule was gone for 2010, 2011 and 2012 but is back for 2013 and beyond.Also back is the phase-out of itemized deductions for high earners.Note: If you are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) , a parallel tax system that is increasingly affecting middle-income taxpayers, you cannot deduct personal or dependent exemptions.n exemption is an amount of money you can subtract from your Adjusted Gross Income, just for having dependents. Personal and dependent exemptions for yourself and qualifying family members reduce the amount of income on which you will be taxed. (in effect, these exemptions are the same as deductions).
