You have not provided much information about the SO. If your SO has lived with you the WHOLE year in 2024 and had less than $5050 of income -- not including any Social Security-- then you may be able to claim them as a "qualifying relative" dependent for the $500 credit for other dependents. Dependents are entered in MY INFO.

Qualifying relative

They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
They made less than $5050 in 2024. (Not counting Social Security)
You provided more than half of their financial support.

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
