In order to claim your boyfriend as a dependent you would have had to live with him for the entire year, provide more than half of his support, cannot be claimed by someone else and he couldn't have received more than $4,300 in income.
If he meets those criteria, then yes, you could claim him and yes you would still file a 1040.
