Qualifying for Dependency Exemption-Multiple Support

taken turns claiming a dependency exemption deduction for their mother under a
multiple support agreement. This year Jeanne will be entitled to the exemption,
and her mother needs money for surgery and new eyeglasses. Should Jeanne pay
for the medical expenses as her share of her mother’s expenses? How would this
benefit Jeanne?
