Phaseout of Exemptions

The amount you can claim as a deduction for exemptions is phased out once your adjusted gross income (AGI) goes above a certain level for your filing status. These levels are as follows:

Filing Status AGI Level Which
Reduces Exemption
Amount
Married filing separately $99,725
Single 132,950
Head of household 166,200
Married filing jointly 199,450
Qualifying widow(er) 199,450

If your AGI exceeds the level for your filing status, use the Deduction for Exemptions Worksheet in the instructions for Form 1040 to figure the amount of your deduction for exemptions.

You must reduce the dollar amount of your exemptions by 2% for each $2,500, or part of $2,500 ($1,250 if you are married filing separately), that your AGI exceeds the amount shown for your filing status. If your AGI exceeds the amount shown by more than $122,500 ($61,250 if married filing separately), the amount of your deduction for exemptions is reduced to zero.
