If all of the following apply then yes, you can claim your fiance as a dependent on your return. The rules for claiming a non-relative as your dependent are as follows:
- She cannot be claimed as a dependent if they are eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another tax return. Whether she is being claimed is irrelevant, it’s the eligibility that matters.
- She also must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico
- She is not a “qualifying child” of a taxpayer.
- She earned less than $4,050 in taxable income (amount of the personal exemption) in 2017
- She did not provide her own support. You must provide more than half of the total support for the year
- She lived with you all year as a member of your household
