Mississippi State Tax

If the filing status is married and both spouses are working, the spouses may divide the joint personal exemption of $12,000 between them, in multiples of $500. Therefore, the number of exemptions specified on this form need to be multiplied by $500 to reach the appropriate exemption amount (such as 24 x $500 = $12,000).

Consequently, enter the following numbers of exemptions in order to get the correct standard exemption amounts:

Single:	12 Exemptions ($500 x 12 = $6000)
Head of Household:	19 Exemptions ($500 x 19 = $9500)
Married:	24 Exemptions ($500 x 24 = $12,000)
Dependents:	3 Exemptions each ($500 x 3 = $1500)
