So, I claimed my son. He was born in 2021. My boyfriend and I are together and live together. How will de report our son? What is our sons dependent type to him?

As you are not married, you file separate tax returns.

 

If you claim your son, then your boyfriend cannot claim him and he enters no dependent on his tax return. He has to file as Single.

 

As for you, if you paid more than half of the household expenses, you can file as Head of Household.
