If you are filing a return then it will have to be you who gets to claim your kids. As long as your kids can be claimed by you (regardless you actually did) he can't claim them.
If he is paying for all of you, then you will have to see if his claiming you as a dependent violating any local laws. For example, FL doesn't allow boyfriend claiming girlfriend as a dependent. If there is no violationg he can claim all of you as his dependents (assuming that he paid for more than half of the support, you lived with him the whole year, you didn't have more than $3200 of gross income).
Best wishes.

Do you live with your children? Are you not a dependent of your parents? If yes to both questions, then your children are your "qualifying children" in tax terms. Even if your boyfriend lives with them and supports them, and even if you have no income, he cannot claim your children on his tax return.
Your student status does not affect the answer to your question.

Where is the father of your kids? Who's name is on their birth certificate? A person can't use somebody else kids to save money on their income tax.
Is your boyfriend living with you and is he supporting you and the kids? How did you file your income tax last year? Where you head of the household last year?

He can claim you kids if he lived with the children and was the one who provided more than 50% of their care in 2006.

If all of you lived with him all year, and you made under $3300, then yes. If you made over $3300 for the year, then he couldn't claim you but might still be able to claim your kids.
Your being a full-time student does not affect any of this.
Having any or all of you as dependents would not qualify him for head of household filing status, unless at least one of the kids is his.

Since your childeren are your qualifying children, he can't claim them. Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to get EIC for them because they're not his kids, stepkids, adopted kids, or relative.

I think that privilege is reserved for the father of the children only. There would be special conditions to that too. Contact a tax adviser.

No, I think you have to be living with them for 10 years to count.
