Lulie A | Can someone claim you on the tax return as their dependent without your permission? |
My husband recieved this letter yesterday
We're sending you this letter because you need to make sute you are not someone's dependent.
We're asking you to do so because on your 2007 federal icome tax return you claimed an exemption for yourself. For that same year, we also recieved a return where someone claimed an exemption for you as their dependent. Each tax payer is entitle to only one excemption. You have not been entittled to claim an exemption for yourself if someone took you an exemption for you as their dependent.
We're pretty much lost...He knows that no one had his permission to claim him..can this be identity thief?
Thanks for your help

Thanks alot! :D |

Could anyone in his family have claimed him? (I'm thinking of his parents.) Is there any way that he *did* qualify to be claimed as their dependent? (Were you two married for the whole year? Did they pay any of his support? Was he a full-time student or in any other way receiving funding from his family?)
If none of the above applies, then he's clearly in the right here and the IRS will figure that out, so he doesn't have to worry about having to pay any extra tax or penalty or anything. You won't ever find out who did claim him, but the IRS will know, and they'll make sure whoever it is loses whatever benefit they might have gained by claiming him fraudulently.
(It could also be nothing more than a simple mistake -- maybe some parent somewhere made an error when entering her child's SS No. on her forms and wound up accidentally entering your husband's number!) |

Could be ID theft, could be his parents, many things. How old is he, was he a student and was he self-supporting? Who cares why, just resolve issue with IRS.
Respond to IRS with letter stating facts of your situation: that I, John Doe, was married to Jane Doe on X date, that we lived together all year and filed a joint return. I was not a fulltime student and my age is X. During the year, I provided more than half my support, and no one has a right to claim me. |

Check with his parents. They do not need his permission, just his SS no. If they did not claim it, it is probably an error, call the IRS |

If someone else had the legal right to claim him, they don't need his permission. That could be a parent, if he lived with them for over half of 2007. If you were married by the end of 2007 and you filed a joint return for that year, then the parent can't claim him even if otherwise they legally could have.
Not likely anything to do with identity theft, but one of his parents (or both on a joint return) might have claimed him. If you didn't file a joint return for 2007 and his parent(s) met the rules to claim him, then they can, they don't need his permission. If that's what happened, he'd have to file an amended return and drop the claim to his exemption.
I'd start by asking his parents if they claimed him for 2007. That's the most likely situation. If that's what happened, they will have gotten a letter also from the IRS questioning their claim. |

In order to be claimed as a dependent (it's not a matter of giving permission), for the year in questions your husband had to have been one of the following:
1. Lived with someone all year, made less than $3400 and they provided more than half of his support (could be anyone).
2. Made less than $3400 and they provided more than half of his support (immediate family).
3. Under 24, full time student, did not support self (immediate family).
4. Under 19, did not support self (immediate family).
The letter he got was sent in duplicate--one to him and one to the other person. The letter also says he doesn't really need to respond if he didn't make an error--as it's the responsibility of the other person to amend. If the other person doesn't amend, he'll get another letter and he simply points out the obvious--that he supported himself and doesn't fit any of the above categories. |

did you ask his parents? is he in college? if he is in college then his parents can claim him, legal yes, right way to do things, no. it could also be some kind of a screw up with his ssn, happened to me when i applied for a credit card, they keyed my ssn in wrong and it came back saying i was deceased, check the ssn on the letter carefully and see if it is correct, contact the irs to see if they can tell you who claimed him. if it is identity theft it's the newest form i've heard of. also run a check on his credit to make sure it isn't some kind of id theft. |

It could be as simple as someone else typed in the wrong SSN. Check your credit report, you can do it free at www.annualcreditreport.com, and if nothing is out of the ordinary, don't worry about it.
See if you get such a letter next year.
