Have you lived in the home of your BF for the entire year of 2023? Is your gross income in 2023 less than $4,700?
Is your spouse filing a 2023 tax return as Married Filing Jointly?
We have lived together all year. I had no income and I file separately.
However, I did have different mailing addresses for the jobs I did work. Which I did have income, I was thinking of 2022. But that income was under $4,300. So I have other addresses listed but we have lived together.

Then you should be able to be claimed as a dependent under the Qualifying Relative rules.
To be a Qualifying Relative -
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer. A child is not the qualifying child of any other taxpayer if the child's parent (or any other person for whom the child is defined as a qualifying child) is not required to file an income tax return or files an income tax return only to get a refund on income tax withheld.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,700 (social security does not count) in 2023
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year.
6. The person must not file a joint return with their spouse.
