It looks like your fiancé did something wrong. Since you said you've been with him for 8 years, and your daughter is 9 years old, I assume that your fiancé is not the child's father. If the child is not related to him, he cannot claim her as a dependent if the child is a "qualifying child" of anyone else. Assuming your daughter lived with you, she is a qualifying child to you. Therefore your fiancé cannot claim her as a dependent. Those are the rules. Your giving him permission doesn't change the rules. She's still your qualifying child, so he can't claim her. There is no provision in the tax law for a parent to give an unrelated person permission to claim a child as a dependent.
