Can I change my step sons relationship label on taxes from "Other" (used every year) to step son if his mother and I are not legally married? We live together, I provide.

I've raised him most his life, I claim him every year but because his mother and I are not married I've always put other for relationship to me. Can I legally change the relationship to me as my child - step son?

Only if you marry his mother or legally adopt him as your son. Otherwise he is just you dependent.
