Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John can claim a personal exemption for himself and a dependency exemption for Kevin, Donna, Melissa, and Morris since he supports them and they earn less than $3,900 each. This totals to four dependency exemptions in addition to his personal exemption, giving him a total of five exemptions to claim.
