| 1. | A single taxpayer who is paid weekly and claims three exemptions (including one for the taxpayer) has $289.42 exempt from levy. |
| 2. | If the taxpayer in number 1 is over 65 and writes 1 in the ADDITIONAL STANDARD DEDUCTION space on Parts 3, 4, & 5 of the levy, $313.46 is exempt from this levy ($289.42 plus $24.04). |
| 3. | A taxpayer who is married, files jointly, is paid bi-weekly, and claims two exemptions (including one for the taxpayer) has $650.00 exempt from levy. |
| 4. | If the taxpayer in number 3 is over 65 and has a spouse who is blind, this taxpayer should write 2 in the ADDITIONAL STANDARD DEDUCTION space on Parts 3, 4, & 5 of the levy. Then, $726.92 is exempt from this levy ($650.00 plus $76.92). |
