Jessica and Jason are married, file a joint return, and have 4 dependent children. Assume a taxpayer is allowed a personal exemption deduction of $4,050 (in 2016 and 2017) for himself or herself. Calculate their 2017 personal and dependency deductions for each of the following independent situations:
a. Their AGI is $275,000.
$
b. Their AGI is $375,000.
$
c. Their AGI is $475,000.

A.
4050 is personal exemption allowed per dependent qualifying child and when they file joint return they can claim 4050 per perosn additionally.
Beginning of phase out = 313800
Total exemption = 4050*6 = 24300
B.
4050 is personal exemption allowed per dependent qualifying child and when they file joint return they can claim 4050 per perosn additionally.
Beginning of phase out = 313800
Phase Out % = (375000-313800)/2500*2% = 50%Approx
Total Exemption = 24300 - 25*2%*24300 = 12150
C.
Maximum Phaseout Limit = 436300
So, no deduction allowed.
