Margaret and her sister support their mother and together provide 85 percent of their mother's support. If Margaret provides 40 percent of her mother's support: a. Neither Margaret nor her sister may claim their mother as a dependent. b. Margaret and her sister may split the dependent status of their mother. c. Margaret may claim her mother as a dependent if her sister agrees in a multiple support agreement. d. Her sister is the only one who can claim their mother as a dependent. e. Both Margaret and her sister may claim their mother as a dependent.

c. Margaret may claim her mother as a dependent if her sister agrees in a multiple support agreement.

Explanation:

For Margaret to claim her mother as a dependant, she would have to be providing more than 50% of her mother's support during the year. Margaret alone provides 40% so cannot claim her mother as a dependant.

If her Margaret and her sister can however agree to a multiple support agreement, Margaret may claim her mother as a dependent and their join support of her would pass the 50% margin required.
