Sister "A" would have to include B's income in the "total household income" figure, and divide the expenses 50/50.

Really.
What if you had a 19 year old son still living at home.
And he has a job.
Would that have to be included?
Even though all his pay goes to his car, in his name, and the insurance for that car.

I'm totally guessing here - so take that for what it's worth. But, I would guess that if you can still claim him as a dependent, then you probably wouldn;t need to. If you can;t claim him anymore, then you would add him in, but also add in his expenses, I would think.
