PERSONAL EXEMPTION WORKSHEET

You may not claim more personal exemptions on form VA-4 than you are allowed to claim on
your income tax return unless you have received written permission to do so from the
Department of Taxation.
Line 1. You may claim an exemption for yourself if no one else claims you as a dependent on their income
tax return.
Line 2. You may claim an exemption for your spouse if he or she is not already claimed on his or her own
certificate.
Line 3. If you will be 65 or older at the end of this year, you may claim an additional exemption. The additional
exemption for a spouse may be claimed only if you were entitled to an exemption on line 2.

exemption. The additional exemption for a spouse may be claimed only if you were entitled to an
exemption on line 2.
Line 5. Enter the number of dependents you are allowed to claim on your income tax return.
