Answer 1

Over 50% of the support of the qualifying relative must be furnished by the taxpayer. If the individual does not spend funds that have been received from any source, the unexpended amounts(are or are not) counted for purposes of the support test.

Under a multiple support agreement one member of a group of taxpayers who furnish support for a qualifying relative may claim a dependency exemption if together the group provides 50% of the support. Any person who contributed more than 10% of the support is entitled to claim the exemption if each person in the group who contributed more than 10% files a written consent.
