In 2014, the amount you can deduct (called an exemption) for a dependent on your tax return is $3,950. This amount usually increases each year. If you have two dependents, you can deduct $3,950 per dependent, for a total deduction of $7,900. If you have three dependents, the total deduction is $11,850, and so on.
Anywhere from $0 to several thousand dollars. A dependent gives you an additional $3500 exemption, access to the child tax credit and possibly EIC. It varies depending upon your income. For most people, a child is worth a $3500 deduction and a $1000 credit on the return.
