If you are an undergraduate, most likely it's your parents and not the BF that qualify to claim you. Here's the deal.
If THE STUDENT did NOT provide MORE than 50% of THE STUDENT'S own support, (scholarships, grants, 1099-Q funds, Gifts from Aunt Mary, boyfriend, etc do NOT count as the student providing their own support) then the parents qualify to claim the student as a dependent on the parents tax return, and the parents claim all the education stuff (with one exception that might apply to you) on the parents' tax return.
Here's the thing. It flat out does not matter if your parents claim you or not. It matters if they QUALIFY To claim you. Note that the support requirement is 100% on the student. There is no requirement for the parents' to provide any support - not one penny.
