Can my boyfriend claim me as a dependent on his tax return if I received payment from my retirement fund and unemployment?

I received money from employment for 3 months (not totaling $4,300) but also received unemployment and cashed out my retirement fund in 2021. Does this get included in my 'income' for 2021?

All income you received in 2021, including unemployment compensation and retirement fund withdrawals, is counted as your gross income, except for any Social Security benefits received.  If your gross income in 2021 is $4,300 or more then no one can claim you as a dependent.

Yes, your unemployment and proceeds from your retirement fund all count as income. If the totality of this income is $4,300 or more, he can't claim you.
