You can claim him if he earned less than $3300, and he lived with you for entire year of 2006. However, you would not be able to get the earned income credit for him, because he wouldn't be considered a qualifying child nor a qualifying relative. You would only get him as an exemption, which will be $3300 as an adjustment to your gross income.

If he lived with you for the ENTIRE year of 2006, had less than $3,300 in gross income and you provided more than half of his support for the entire year you can claim him as a dependent. Your relationship must also not be illegal under local law. If there is still an old cohabitation ordinance or state law on the books, even though it's unenforced, the IRS will disallow the exemption.
You CANNOT file HoH as he is not a qualifying child.

If he lived with you ALL year, made under $3300 for 2006, and you provided more than half of his support, then you probably can claim him as a dependent on your return. There are a couple other requirements, but those are the main ones.
Having him as your dependent does NOT qualify you to file as head of household though, you'd file as single..

Maybe.
There are 5 tests the IRS looks at:
1. Member of Household (living in the taxpayers home) as a family member in a relationship not prohibited by local law for the entire year.
2. you provide over half the person's support during the year.
3. they have less than $3300 gross income, not including nontaxable benefits.
4. joint return test
5. citizenship test.

If you have lived with this person for 12 months in 2006, and he has less than $3,300 in income for 2006, and you supported him, then you can claim him as a dependent.

Head of household - you MUST have a qualifying child.
You can claim single and add your fiance as a dependent as long as you supported him/her.
