who used federal exemptions instead of state exemptions???

My state uses its own exemptions...

you would use the federal exemption when the state didn't bother to update its exemptions. like, if the state exemptions include a cow, a horse, and a couple of sheep...

One would also use State exemptions, in states that do not have federal exemptions available, as is the case in Florida.

used federal exemptions in Washington state because it allowed me to exempt cash and tax return since I have no equity in my house.

We used Federal exemptions. In our case the fed exemptions were much more adventageous. Plus our lawyer advised us to do so.

Just wondering who used federal exemptions instead of state exemptions in your case and why you chose to do so?
