I have a partner that has lived with me the whole year that is legally blind and can not work. Can I claim her as a dependant?

[KrisD]

YES,

if this person meets the requirements of being your qualifying relative.

• Do they live with you?The person must live at your residence all year
  
• Do they make less than $4,050 in 2016? Your relative cannot have a gross income of more than $4,050 in 2016 and be claimed by you as a dependent. 
• Do you financially support them? You must provide more than half of your relative’s total support each year. 
• Are you the only person claiming them? This means you can’t claim the same person twice, once as a qualifying relative and again as a qualifying child. It also means you can’t claim a relative—say a cousin—if someone else, such as his parents, also claim him.
