Form 8914 (2009)

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 8914 to claim your personal exemptions, exemptions
for dependents, and the additional exemption amount for
providing housing in your main home to one or more
Midwestern displaced individuals.

Additional Exemption Amount
You can claim an additional exemption amount of $500 for each
Midwestern displaced individual (defined below). You can claim
an additional exemption amount only one time for a specific
individual. If you claimed an additional exemption amount for an
individual in 2008, you cannot claim that amount again for the
same individual in 2009.
The maximum additional exemption amount you can claim for
all displaced individuals is $2,000. Any additional exemption
amount you claimed for displaced individuals in 2008 will
reduce the $2,000 maximum for 2009. The $2,000 limit applies
to a husband and wife, whether the husband and wife file joint
returns or separate returns. If married filing separately, the
$2,000 can be divided in $500 increments between the
spouses. For example, if one spouse claims an additional
exemption amount for one displaced individual, the other
spouse, if otherwise eligible, can claim additional exemption
amounts for three different displaced individuals.
If two or more taxpayers share the same main home, only
one taxpayer in that main home can claim the additional
exemption amount for a specific displaced individual. In order
for you to be considered to have provided housing, you must
have a legal interest in the main home (that is, own or rent the
home).

Midwestern Displaced Individual
To qualify as a Midwestern displaced individual, an individual
must meet the following three conditions.
• The individual must have had his or her main home in one of
the counties listed in Table 1 or Table 2 on page 4 on an
applicable disaster date shown in the table for that county, and
he or she must have been displaced from that home. In
addition, if the individual’s main home was in a county listed in
Table 2, the home must have been damaged by the storms,
tornadoes, or flooding that gave rise to the disaster declaration
for that county, or the individual must have been evacuated
from the home because of the storms, tornadoes, or flooding.
• He or she must have been provided housing in your main
home free of charge for a period of at least 60 consecutive days
ending in 2009. See Compensation for Housing below.
• He or she cannot be your spouse or dependent.

Compensation for Housing
You cannot claim the additional exemption amount if you
received rent (or any other amount) from any source for
providing the housing. You are permitted to receive payments or
reimbursements that do not relate to normal housing costs,
including the following.
• Food, clothing, or personal items consumed or used by the
displaced individual.
• Reimbursement for the cost of any long distance telephone
calls made by the displaced individual.
• Reimbursement for the cost of gasoline for the displaced
individual’s use of your vehicle.

However, you cannot claim the additional exemption amount
if you received any reimbursement for the extra costs of heat,
electricity, or water used by the displaced individual.

Specific Instructions
Line 1, Column (a)
Enter the first and last names of up to four displaced individuals
who were provided housing in your main home for a period of at
least 60 consecutive days ending in 2009. If less than 60
consecutive days, you cannot claim an additional exemption
amount for this individual.
Do not enter the name of any individual you included on a
Form 8914 you filed for 2008.

Line 1, Column (b)
Enter the displaced individual’s social security number (SSN) or
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). You must
provide this information in column (b) to claim an exemption
amount. You can use Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer
Identification Number and Certification, to request an SSN or
ITIN from the displaced individual.

Line 1, Column (c)
Enter the street address where the displaced individual’s main
home was located on the applicable disaster date. That home
must have been located in a Midwestern disaster area on that
date. Include the number and street, city or town, state, and ZIP
code.

Line 1, Column (d)
Enter the number of consecutive days the displaced individual was
provided housing in your main home free of charge.

Line 10
If you are filing Form 1040NR, enter the amount shown below
for your filing status.
• Filing status box 1 or 2 — $166,800
• Filing status box 3, 4, or 5 — $125,100
• Filing status box 6 — $250,200
