If he provides over 1/2 of your support then YES he can claim you. The only technicality is if the relationship is in violation of local law then it is disallowed.

Your fiance can claim you as a dependent if you:
- shared the same household all year,
- had gross income of less than $3,300 (not including social security benefits)
- and he provided over half of your support.
Your social security benefits are included when calculating who supported who.

If his income supports you, yes he can claim you...he will get a dependent benefit from this...does anyone else live with you, as well?? you can get a dependency benefit for all whom you support in your household...
certain credits require them to be related by blood...but not dependents...
you should check with a tax professional to determine if your SS allows your fiance to do so...

Absolutely not.
You do not meet the qualifying relative test provided by the IRS. The IRS also specifically denies the right of a person to claim a girlfriend or boyfriend, even if you provided over 1/2 their support.
Go to Publication 501 for more info.

NO! It doesn't matter if you have been together for 50 years - if you're not married you can't be claimed.

look for dependents - and qualifications - they are specific.
