If he lived with you all year, you paid more than half of his support, and he didn't make more than $3300 in 2006, then you probably will be able to. You'll have to meet a few more tests also, but these are the main ones.
Each year is treated by itself, so for your 2006 return it doesn't matter what 2007 will look like. |

Yes IF he is not earning income, you have provided more than 50% of his support, he is not claimed on someone elses taxes as a dependent and he is not claiming himself on his own taxes. You would claim as head of household. |

The answers I read so far are the biggest reason that most people should use a tax professional to help with thier income taxes.
If your bf earned less than 50% of his share of household expenses (in other words, You provided more than 50% of his support) you can claim him as a dependent without being worried about tax evasion or the like, PROVIDED that co-habitation is not against the law where youlive. |

I think you should talk to someone in your HR department. Because if you didn't claim him on your paycheck then you won't get anything in return. |

Talk to your accountant. It may depend on how old he is and with as fast as tax laws change, who knows. It's always best to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about. |

I am no tax expert but when my mother was not working and my father did the family's taxes he claimed her as a dependent. So yes, I believe that you can claim someone as a dependent since you have to renew your tax forms each year. |

It sounds like you might be able to. Get TurboTax to do your return this year, and it will guide you through a series of questions that will give you your answer. |

As long as he didn't earn more than $3,300 and lived with you the whole year (legally, i.e. wasn't married to someone else), and you provided more than 50% of his support.

yeh, since you support the fine fellow, you would probably be willing to risk a little tax evasion and give him the refund. he probably has a drug habit and really needs some cash. |
