SOS!! what do i do Amend right?

[briannaoliver0203]

my ex let his parents falsely claim my child as a dependent, me and my ex have joint custody, he is the custodian and im the non custodian, the ex owes back child support for other kids with other women. like by ALOT.. so instead oh him claiming our child he got his parents to wrongfully claim my son so he could get the money from them instead of paying his morale oligations hes cheating the system, now i paid for more than half of the childs needs then he did but our son spent more days with him. now i didnt sign any paperwork releasing my write as the other parents permission to claim him. i legally have rights to this right? ive already filed and its been submitted without claiming my son, however i REALLY want to amend it and get this taken care of what do i do??????

Are you the custodial parent?   Do the children live with you?   The IRS cares who the children lived with the most---so if they were with you for at least 183 nights you can claim them.

If the children spent more nights with the other parent then you cannot claim them unless there is a signed form 8332 that releases the right to you to claim them for the child tax credit.   The custodial parent still has the right to get earned income credit and the childcare credit and to file as head of household.

If you are the parent and you amend to claim the child,

IRS will contact you and grandparents.

I think the IRS should rule in your favor over grandparents,

and certainly will if they are falsely claiming, as you allege.

That won't help you with your missing child support.
