My boyfriend travels for work and i have been living with him for almost 3 years on the road. His physical address is in Minnesota while mine is still in SOuth Dakota.
What do you mean when you say your physical address is still in SD? If you are maintaining a home in SD, then no he could probably not claim you as a dependent on his return unless he is paying over half of your support during the year.
If you lived with your parents and you simply never changed your official address but all of the following apply then yes, he can claim you as a dependent:
Yes it's my parents address I haven't changed. And yes he pays all of the expenses
Then yes, as long as you have made less than $4,300 he can claim you for the Other Dependent Credit which is a $500 non-refundable credit.
Ok. Will I need to verify in any way that I have lived with him?
Not when you file. If for some reason, in the unlikely event, you would be audited it is possible. This could be proved by mail coming to your home addressed to you or most likely just an actual statement from both of you saying that yes you live there.
