They can't tell you who did it. But if you are the one with the right to claim your child, go ahead and claim her. If the other person files first, you'll have to mail in your return and not efile, but you will still get the exemption. The IRS will notify both you and the other person that two people have claimed the same dependent. Then if the other person doesn't amend their return to drop their claim, the IRS will investigate and disallow their claim and they'll have to pay back what they got extra for claiming her, plus penalties and interest..
If you had the right to claim her the last two years but didn't because this other person beat you to it, you can file an amended return for those years claiming her if it will give you any extra refund. |

Someone is cheating the IRS. If you informed them of this issue, they would typically investigate (eventually). If you can prove you can claim your daughter on your taxes legally, which means no one else should, they will look into it. Of course they aren't legally allowed to tell you who was doing it or the results of their investigation. Regardless, you should claim her on your taxes and if the IRS asks questions later on. |

Continue claiming your child which will force the IRS to Audit both you and the person who is claiming your child.
Audit might not be fun, but it should solve the problem. |

You do not need to know. Evidentially you have reported this to the IRS so they will investigate the fraud. Someone claims my home as their residence. I get mail addressed to this Jose. All I can do is declare they do not live here. |

hopefully the IRS has corrected the problem and let your claim stand. Unfortunately, it is a privacy matter. This "someone" will probably be in big trouble,if that is any help.
I would try to think of what person could have the name and SSN of your daughter. Maybe they only transposed the SSN on their tax return, and it was an honest mistake.
How did you find out about it? |

If you have custody of your child you can claim them. If someone else claims without custody they are responsible for paying back the irs. |

aren't they suppose to charge the person that's been doing it with a fine. my husbands dad did that when he was under 18 and his mother claimed him like usual then the irs asked for proof and his mom had school records his dad had none so they charged him with a 500 dollar fine. |

Have you called the IRS and reported this? Or is it the IRS telling you?
Odds are, it's the OTHER PARENT. Who else would have the child's details?

Did they tell you why they couldn't? That is terrible that they are claiming your daughter on their tax returns. Try hiring a private investigator because that is tax fraud, and they will be able to help you out. |

Claim her your self and when you get in trouble for cheating, prove that she is your daughter. maybe it is your spouse or x or something. how old is your kid? If you have claimed her in the past, they will probably figure out that she is really your kid. |

First, how was it that you found out she was being claimed? Did it unable you from claiming her? Are you able to claim her yourself or is someone else supposed to?
If you are able to claim her, then write a letter to the IRS and maybe it woul;d be a good idea to certify it or delivery confirmation. Tell them the situation and ask to find out in written form. You may want to call them first and ask what documentation you have to submit in order to find out (DL Picture, SS# of course...whatever). Or call and ask an attorney who handles IRS problems (phone book usually lists) Usually their first consultation is free.
If you don't have a right to claim her (parents all have different issues, divorced, legal guardian...etc) then you may not have the right to find out.

Alyssa B.,
Have you ever seen those commercials that tell you they will help you with all of your tax troubles, take down some numbers, and just have those papers by the TV with a pen everytime those commercials show up and then give them a call, cuz for all the IRS knows you could be the one who's not the parent is why they wont give you any information. Would your EX-Husband happen to have your daughters Social Security number? Because he isn't legally allowed to use it if you two are no longer together and you have custody of her! I would also try to call them (the IRS) back and ask them if they will atleast give you a chance to proove who you and your daughter are to them, where she was born, what her birthday is, your birthday, your Mothers maiden name, her fathers name addresses, all of these types of information that no one else would have anyway of knowing! Or write to them and explain in a letter. Life's not fair and I feel for you because I do know if someone else is claiming your daughter then you have full-legal custody of her, but cannot claim her for the earned income credit at the end of the year, how frustrating this all must be for you!! They can actually go to a Federal Prison for doing this, you know. So, get those numbers down and also the IRS will also owe you from years back and honey you have a large sum of money coming your way that any of these "Tax Lawyers" would love to take a case such as this so they not only can get you back income tax money but they to can get paid pretty good once you get it all taken care of. Good Luck to you! Oh, you can also call like H & R Block and ask them if they have anyone who can represent you in such a situation as this? Go for it, call around and let your fingers to the talking!! Just break out your phone book and make some phone calls!! Hope you get what you've got coming to you, hun! And this mess all will finally come to an end for you! |
