Maybe.
1. You must have lived together for ALL of 2006.
2. His gross income must be less than $3,300.
3. He must not be the eligible child of another taxpayer.
4. You must have provided more than half of his support for 2006.
There's one possible "gotcha" even in this day and age. If there is a local law that prohibits co-habitation -- even if it's unenforced -- the IRS will reject your claim of him as a dependent.

Hi Dawn, If you have lived that long together,and he was out of work a year or less,i think you can. Have fun with the extra cash you will get. A Friend.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply kick him out?
