71.15 Income computation.
(1) The standard deduction shall not be allowed in computing the taxable income of an estate, a trust or a common trust fund.
(2) A personal exemption for the decedent under s. 71.07 (8) shall not be allowed the personal representative, except against the tax on income of the decedent in the year of death. If the decedent would have been entitled to an exemption for the decedent's spouse or a dependent under s. 71.07 (8), had the decedent lived, the exemption shall be allowed to the personal representative so long as over one-half of the support of the spouse or dependent is supplied by the decedent or by the personal representative from the decedent's estate and the gross income of the spouse or dependent for the calendar year in which the taxable year of the personal representative begins is less than $500.
