    1. Subtract the biweekly Thrift Savings Plan contribution from the gross biweekly wages.

    2. Multiply the adjusted gross biweekly wages by 26 to obtain the annual wages.

    3. Determine the standard deduction by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from the annual wages.

      4. If The Number of Exemptions
      Claimed      1 Is:

      Subtract This Amount2:

      1 or more
      10% of annual wages or $6,475
      1 Use annual wages when no exemptions are claimed.
      2 Use the lesser amount.

    4. Determine the exemption allowance by applying the following guideline and subtract this amount from the result of step 3 to compute the taxable income.

      5. Exemption Allowance = $4,610 x Number of Exemptions
