Читать книгу J.K. Lasser's 1001 Deductions and Tax Breaks 2022 - Barbara Weltman - Страница 17

No personal or dependency exemptions can be claimed in 2018 through 2025. So if you had 4 exemptions in 2017 and deducted $16,200 ($4,050 × 4) in that year, your deduction in 2021 is zero. The suspension of exemptions seriously reduces write‐offs for many taxpayers. Of course, because high‐income taxpayers were subject to a phaseout of exemptions, they are not greatly affected by the suspension in the deduction for exemptions.

However, the concept of dependents has not been eliminated and continues to apply for various purposes. For example, for purposes of a child tax credit that may be claimed for a qualifying child or a dependent who is not a qualifying child, the concept of dependents continues to apply. The definition of dependent varies for certain purposes and is explained in each relevant tax break in this book. For example, the amount of income for a qualifying relative taken into account in determining dependent status in 2021 is $4,300.
