I have 3 biological children. All live with me 365 days a year. I pay more than half of the expenses for all 3. One child is from a former relationship, we will name her S. The other 2 are from my current relationship, we will name them E and H. We all live together full time. I have full custody/placement of S and she is not eligible to be claimed by her biological mother. I claim S and my fiance claims E and H. My question is, can i still enter E and H on my taxes as non qualifying dependents? It seems to help my deductions/credits, but I just want to make sure this is legal and that I'm not doing something wrong.

No. You are seeing false results. If you and the other parent live together, only one of you can claim the child for any tax benefit. The interview is confusing (it's designed for divorced parents). The second parent should not enter the child, at all.
