I earn less than ten thousand a year. We live in a mobile home that I bought and I buy the food and our clothes. He is disabled but going to school for retraining. He pays the utilities and has back child support that is being paid out of his check. Would it be good for me financially to claim him?

Assuming 'him' is your boyfriend and you are not married, You can only claim him if he is what the IRS calls a 'qualifying relative'. To be a qualifying relative he must meet the following tests:
1. He lived with you the entire year as a member of your household and the relationship does not violate local law.
2. He had gross income of less than $3,300.
3. You provided over half of his support.
See page 20 of the instructions for Form 1040.

Is the "he" your boyfriend or spouse? If spouse, you could file a joint return which would probably be your best option. If he's a boyfriend, then you can only claim him if his gross income for the year is less than $3300 and he lived with you ALL year, and you paid over half of his total support - doesn't sound like you'd meet those requirements.

Unless he is a spouse or a child, you will have to meet certain requirements to claim someone unrelated as a dependent. Talk to your tax man.

claiming 'him' as a dependent =s Fraud.
if you are married file joint. if you are not, file individual taxes. no papers equals fraud .
there is no tax status for shacking up.
P.S. you need to visit the library
read '48 days to work you love'
'what colour is your parachute' and apply the information. Remember poverty is a choice of excuses.

i'm a school pupil and my mom claimed and she or he have been given greater money cuz of it. however the tax human beings can enable you already know methods plenty you will get in case you declare your son's and how plenty they gets in case you do no longer declare them...yet then in case you do declare them you are able to consistently supply them money in case you get greater.

unless you are married to him you cannot claim him. also if you could, it would not affect your tax situation since you made so little.
