Per the state of Wisconsin, you can claim a personal exemption for your spouse if your spouse had no gross income for U.S. tax purposes and cannot be claimed as the dependent on another U.S. taxpayer's return. This is only for Residents of Mexico or Canada or U.S. nationals.
In addition, you get a deduction of $700 per exemption. Therefore, the $1,400 ($700 x 2) would be correct.
