Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your boyfriend can claim you as a Qualifying relative provided:

 

• You don't have to be related to you (despite the name).

• You cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.

• You are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.

• You are not filing a joint return with their spouse.

•  You lived with you the entire year.

• You made less than $4,200 in 2019

• He provided more than half of their financial support.

 

Since you made more than the threshold, your boyfriend would be required to file an amended return.  IRS Publication 17, page 26.

 

You should file a paper return with the IRS correctly claiming your income.  The IRS will send a letter stating that someone else claimed you on their return.  At this time you will be able to dispute him claiming on his return.
