Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Since you are not the custodial parent you cannot claim the child without the ex's permission and a signed form 8332. Support is not a determining factor any longer according to the IRS.
As to the boyfriend ... to claim a child that is not related to him he would be restricted to just claiming the child's exemption ( not any credit or HOH filing status) and only if the child lived with him all year and he provided more than 1/2 the child's support for the year. However if the mother has SSDI then the child does as well and the support test will be hard to pass.
