Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is no longer a dependent exemption that you get a tax break for.

The number of dependents will affect the value of some credits.

 

You do not get a dependent deduction for yourself,

  • But you do get the Standard Deduction of 
    • $13,850 – Single or Married Filing Separately
  • Or if married
    • $27,700 – Married Filing Jointly
