North Carolina Personal Exemption Allowance

For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012, the starting point for determining North Carolina taxable income is federal adjusted gross income from your federal return.

You are allowed the same personal exemptions on the North Carolina individual income tax return as allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. You may deduct a personal exemption amount equal to the amount listed in the chart below based on your filing status and federal adjusted gross income. Multiply the total number of exemptions claimed on your federal income tax return by the amount listed in the chart below.

Enter your North Carolina personal exemption allowance on line 13 of Form D-400.
