If you are claiming a dependent, then of course you have to list them and their information on your tax return--how else do you think you could claim them? You are asking about claiming a boyfriend. If your BF lived with you the WHOLE year, and had less than $5050 of income (not counting Social Security) you may be able to claim BF as a "qualified relative" to get the $500 credit for other dependents.
Enter a dependent's information in MY INFO.
