Yes. Like any other person, a domestic partner that meets the IRS' criteria for a dependent can be considered a dependent. The IRS does not require that a dependent be related to the taxpayer in any particular way, nor that the relationship be recognized by any law.

∙ 11y agoYes, providing he or she meets all of the requirements for dependent, it does not matter that the relationship is "domestic partner." You may not specify "domestic partner" as the relationship on the form (it's not a choice on the digital form), but instead use "other." Requirements for dependent status do change, but generally you must live together, your partner's income must not exceed the maximum, you must pay for more than half of your partner's living expenses and your partner may not be claimed as a dependent on anyone else's return. I believe that currently your partner must be a citizen of either the USA, Mexico or Canada.

∙ 11y agoYes. If he or she meets all the other criteria for dependency, then the fact that you are domestic partners will not prevent you from claiming your dependent. Some requirements are: you must live together, you must provide at least half of the other person's living expenses, the dependent's income must not exceed the allowable amount, the dependent must not be claimed as a dependent on anyone else's taxes, etc.
