Did your GF have less than $4700 of income in 2023 and live with you all year? If so, you may be able to claim her as a "qualified relative" dependent for the $500 credit for other dependents.

Qualifying relative

They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
They made less than $4,700 in 2023.
You provided more than half of their financial support.

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.

You are in a domestic partnership - two people of the same or opposite sex who live together and share a domestic life, but aren't married or joined by a civil union. If you and your partner are in a registered domestic partnership (RDP) and you reside in the community property states of California, Nevada, or Washington state, you'll each need to prepare your own federal tax returns based on your state's community property rules. If you aren't in a Registered Domestic Partnership, choose Single/unmarried.

You can claim your girlfriend as a qualifying relative if all the following are true:

Qualifying relative:

They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
They made less than $4,700 in 2023.
