State tax filing

@BUBBALA You have posted to a very old thread that has outdated information.   There have not been any personal exemptions on a federal tax return since tax year 2017.   For 2018 and beyond the standard deduction increased instead.   State tax laws vary, so there may be an "exemption" on your state return.

 

2021 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

 

SINGLE $12,550  (65 or older + $1700)

 

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $12,550  (65 or older + $1350)

 

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $25,100  (65 or older + $1350 per spouse)

 

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD  $18,800  (65 or older +$1700)

 

Legally Blind + $1350

 

 

 

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income.  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12a of your 2021 Form 1040.
