can you claim your pregnant girlfriend who hasn't worked and has been living with you for more than 6 months? Legally? Reference me to where you found it so I can print it out, please!?

It is listed on all instruction forms except the EZ form. They have to have lived with you the whole year, and not be claimed by anyone else. Sorry. If you had married on or before December 31, that is different. The same for a child. You can find all instruction books at your local library. Or go online and do a search on federal taxes.

To qualify you must meet all of the following requirements:
1. Lived with you for the entire year of 2006.
2. Have gross income of less than $3,300.00
3. Not your qualifying child or the qualifying child of anyone else. (If her parents can still claim her, you can't.)
4. Received more than half of all support from you.
5. Your relationship must not be illegal under local law. If there is a local law against co-habitation, even if it's unenforced, you cannot claim her.

If she lived with you ALL year, you provided over half of her total support for the year, and her gross income for the year was not over $3300, and she is not the qualfying child of anyone else, then you probably can. But if you don't meet EVERY ONE of those rules, then no. Living with you for over 6 months doesn't get the exemption - she would have had to live with you all of 2006.
