Narrative:

Aircraft in question was being handed off to ZBW. When aircraft got within 5 mi; I called to initiate action on their part. A daily occurrence I might add. This is important because they routinely need to be prompted to accept aircraft. However; in this case I turned aircraft away from boundary getting to within .5 mi of boundary. By definition; this is a deviation of airspace. We were told by supervisor that boston would take those aircraft but obviously this was not the case.
