You are in a domestic partnership - two people of the same or opposite sex who live together and share a domestic life, but aren't married or joined by a civil union. If you and your partner are in a registered domestic partnership (RDP) and you reside in the community property states of California, Nevada, or Washington state, you'll each need to prepare your own federal tax returns based on your state's community property rules. If you aren't in a Registered Domestic Partnership, choose Single/unmarried.
You can claim your girlfriend as a qualifying relative if all the following are true:
Qualifying relative:
- They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
- They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
- They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
- They made less than $4,700 in 2023.
- You provided more than half of their financial support.
