Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you may be able to claim your girlfriend as a dependent if:

  • You provided more than half of her support.
  • She made less than $4,050 in gross taxable income. (Social Security income generally doesn’t count here.)
  • She lives with you (365 days in the year) or they are related to you.
  • She isn't a dependent on someone else’s taxes.
  • She isn't doing her taxes with a spouse (married filing jointly).
  • She is a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. 

You can’t claim a dependent if you are a dependent on someone else’s taxes
