Exemptions are the individual deductions that you get for each taxpayer and each dependent on your tax return. Each exemption reduces your taxable income by $4050.

For example, a couple filing Married Filing Jointly with one dependent (usually a child), would automatically get a $12,150 reduction in taxable income.
