Taxable Dependents. A taxable dependent is a person who is eligible to be claimed as a dependent, but still earns an income. Claiming a dependent earns a taxpayer a $3,650 tax exemption, according to the IRS.
What is an 'Exemption'. An exemption is a deduction allowed by law to reduce the amount of income that would otherwise be taxed. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers two types of exemptions: personal and dependent exemptions. An example of an exemption is the reduction in taxes granted for dependent children (under the age of 18) living with the tax filer.
