I wanna know if I can claim my boyfriend

Maybe

You might be able to claim him as a qualifying relative (even though he is not a relative).  Here are the criteria and he must meet all of the requirements. The income level is usually the one that would prevent you from claiming him.

Qualifying relative

To be a qualifying relative, the person must meet all of the tests below

•           If not closely related,  lived  in your home all year

•           Have less than $4050 gross income in 2016(social security does not count toward support)

•           Receive more than half their annual support from you

•           Is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico for part of the year

•           Are not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer
