Is it legal to carry a child as a dependent even if they pay all their own expenses?
If they live in your house, legally yes you can claim them. You can also claim a student in college as a dependent up to 21 years of age. So even if your student is paying their entire way, legally they can still be someone's dependent. When the child files their tax returns, they have to put that someone claims them as a dependent, or the IRS may look at why the guardian is also claiming them as a dependent.

Can you claim head of household and claim your boyfriend as a dependent?
Unless your boyfriend is a relative listed in Table 4 on page 8 of Publication 501 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf or you also happened to have another qualifying relative for whom you kept up a home, then you cannot file as Head of Household. If your boyfriend lived with you as part of your household, you may be able to claim him as a dependent. Please refer to Table 5 on page 11 of Publication 501: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf Note that a person who lived with you can be a "qualifying relative" even if you are not related to each other. I realize this is very confusing. Your boyfriend could be a "qualifying relative" for purposes of claiming a dependent exemption, but not a "qualifying person" for purposes of claiming Head of Household status.
