Personal Exemptions: The Basics. A personal exemption is a specific amount of money that you automatically get to deduct for yourself every year. For tax year 2016 and 2017, the personal exemption is $4,050. Whether you can claim the entire exemption or only part of it depends on your adjusted gross income.
The 2017 personal exemption, at $4,050, is substantially lower both in real terms and relative to average incomes. But the tax code has added other features since 1913, such as the standard deduction and various tax credits that have partly offset the exemptionâs decline in value. The value of the personal exemption depends on an individualâs marginal tax rate. Think of it as a first tax bracket at a zero rate.
