Your BF can claim your son IF your son lives with him all year, BF provides over half his support, and the child cannot be claimed on someone else's return. BUT......if you and BF are not legally married, then BF only gets the $500 credit for other dependents. He cannot file HOH, cannot get earned income credit or child tax credit for claiming your son.
