What this estimate simplifies
- $1,000 is a base exemption. If dependents meet certain conditions, filers can take an additional $1,500 exemption for each. If a taxpayer is claiming a child as a dependent for the first taxable year in which the exemption is allowed, the taxpayer is now permitted to claim an amount of $3,000, instead of $1,500.
