These tables show the amount exempt from a levy on wages, salary, and other income. For example:
1. A single taxpayer who is paid weekly and claims three exemptions (including one for the taxpayer) has $272.12 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, $295.20 is exempt from this levy ($272.12 plus $23.08).
3. A taxpayer who is married, files jointly, is paid bi-weekly, and claims two exemptions (including one for the taxpayer) has $611.54 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, $684.62 is exempt from this levy ($611.54 plus $73.08).
