IF she lived as a member of your household for ALL of 2006, and co-habitation does not violate local law, she is probably a 'qualifying relative'. See page 20 of the 1040 instructions for more information.

yes you can, IF she lived with you for the entire year, she had gross taxable income of less than $3300.00 in 2006, and you provide more than half of her support for the year. She would be considered a Qualifying Relative.

No, you can't. In order to claim a person as a dependent, they must be a relative.

No, you can't claim her. Effective in 2005, the definition of "dependent" has become limited to either "qualifying child" or "qualifying relative".

I don't think you can. You have to be married.
