Yes you may claim her as a dependent. In addition to the conditions you mentioned she would be required to have less than $3,300 income(for 2006). You may read about this in the 2005 IRS Publication 17 at the following link.

Matthew is right on. Listen to him. There is a stipulation that the "living together" can not break local laws, so check with your state. I know of no state where the laws say that two people can't live under the same roof without being married.

Probably, from the info you give, if she wasn't working and lived with you all year, and you provided all her support. If your live-in relationship violates local law, then no, but most of those type laws are long gone.

Yes, you can claim as a dependent as long as she live in the same house.

You can claim any thing you want.
But the IRS will throw it out & charge you a penalty for filling a false tax statement.

probably not. you need to read the tax laws.
To claim someone, they have to be your child, your dependent parent or married partner etc. You can't just claim someone because they live with you or whatever.

No, you have to be legally married. That's why gay people are trying to get the right to marry - there's nothing "legal" about living together.

only if you provided all their support and they make less than 3500.00, but of course it's different from state to state.
