This statement is true. Under a multiple support agreement, an individual may claim an exemption for a qualified relative if no one person contributes more than 50 percent of the support and the individual contributing more than 10 percent of the support, when combined with the contributions of others, equals more than 50 percent. In this scenario, Jim, his brother, and his sister collectively contribute 73 percent of the support for their mother, and no one person contributes more than 50 percent, so Jim may claim an exemption for his mother.
