If my boyfriend claims my 3 kids and we live in the same house hold, also he claimed them last year. Can he get the earned income for child tax?

"my three kids?"  If your BF is not the bio-dad he cannot claim EIC for the children.  All he can get for claiming them would be the $500 credit for other dependents if all of you lived together for the whole year.
