Well it starts with the amount you benefited, then has a substantial growing percentage of that, plus interest. One can expect a serious review of all other items with the IRS, maybe not just for that year, but all available years and perhaps the future.

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.
