When my girlfriend moves in with me. I will be supporting her. I will be providing 100% financially support. With medical; health premiums etc. So can I use her as a dependent when I file my taxes?

    You cannot claim your GF as a dependent unless she lives with you for the entire year and has less than $4700 of income --not counting Social Security.  If she has not moved in yet, then you will not be able to claim her for 2024, since it is already late March.

    I should had made it known. She hadn't yet moved in. But if she moves in in April, 2024. Is that when the time begins that I could claim her for 2025?

    No.   If she was not moved in by January 1, 2024, you cannot claim her for tax year 2024.   You cannot claim her when you prepare your 2024 tax return next year in 2025, because she will not have lived with you for the entire twelve months of 2024.
