If you are referring to taxes and you were under the age of 18 and living together for the past year then yes. Otherwise, no.
No.Well, you can claim you love him dearly...but you can't claim him on your taxes as a dependent.

In the United States, no. Not unless the situation meets certain strict requirements. See related link.
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.
This would only possible if your boyfriend and his stepchild meet all of the rules for him to be able to claim his stepchild as a qualifying relative dependent for the exemption amount on his 1040 income tax return. For all of the rules go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for PUBLICATION 17 go to chapter 3. Personal Exemptions and Dependents Each test is explained in chapter 3 of the publication 17 and you will also find the worksheet that you can use to determine if the support test is met.
No.
Boyfriend no...Your grandchild, naybe.

No you can't and no you shouldn't.
Single filing is okay even if you are married.
You should be skeptical about his claim.

There is no law against your boyfriend claiming your children don't work-unless if they do you need to talk to a therapist to see your man.
If he was responsible for over 50% of the cost of the child, he can claim the child as a dependent. That would mean that no one else was entitled to claim the child, including the father and mother.

Unless he helped pay for rent or mortgage, NO!
Because you're a sucker for him and you let him!!!
