Since he has already filed, she needs to file a paper return and mail it in. The IRS will then contact both of them and sort out who is entitled to claim the child. Your daughter will win that easily assuming that she responds to the IRS inquiry in a timely manner. Her ex will then get a bill for any taxes that are due due to the loss of the exemption claim.
This will delay her refund by a few months, unfortunately. There's no way around that -- and no way to stop this douchebag from pulling the same stunt again next year. She should try to file as soon as possible after the New Year to beat him to the punch on these antics. The IRS will still get involved but at least she'll have her money in hand while they sort it out. |

Contact the Attorney General's Office in your state. He has committed tax fraud, which carries a pretty stiff penalty. |

A similar thing happened to us several years ago. You will need to contact the IRS and they will tell you how to prove your claim and THEN they will go back on HIM and demand a refile and the money he was paid by the IRS as a result of his false claim. Will not look good for him in the future years. |

I would first off call the IRS directly and explain the situation and also sue the ex in court for child support and damages including a request for a court ordered wage garnishment. |

Call the IRS they will require you to send them the custody court order. He will get fined from the IRS and and be flagged for a certain period of time. The payment for child support IRS cant do anything about, but SHE doesnt claim what she hasnt recieved. As long as she has proof of custody for the majority of the year they will not let him claim her. Talk to them there should be a # you can call on your return.
Good Luck |

Call the IRS. Hopefully she recevied a rejection letter from the IRS with a contact number. Explain the situation. The agent most likley will ask for proof of such. On either the mediation agreement, or copy of the judges order from the divorce, it should specifically state who is able to claim the child on their taxes. |

Have her contact the IRS and explain the situation. Im pretty sure they can give her the details on how to proceed with something like this... |

Calling the IRS office is the best way, and she'll probably need to fax the proof that she has physical custody (and it wouldn't hurt to also fax some receipts for things she's paid for). After they receive this then they should be asking him to prove that he paid support, which he won't be able to do. At that point, they will adjust his return and allow your daughter to take the credit. Unfortunately because of her ex you daughter's return filing process is going to be a much more complicated and longer process this year. The good thing is if he tries this next year, it will be much easier for your daughter to get things adjusted. |

My aunt had to file a fradulent claim form, tell her to call the irs and let them know the situation and they'll tell her the proper forms to fill out then they'll do an investigation. Then all funds he got for the fradulent claims will have to be returned and mailed to your daughter, yet it will take some time to do it. |
