How do I find out if someone has used my dependent on their income taxes,

[VictoriaD75]

You can file your own taxes, but you will need to print and mail your return. You will not be able to efile if someone has fraudulently filed with your dependent's information. The IRS will work with you to resolve the situation. You will need to complete Form 14039 to report the identity theft to the IRS. Attach the form to your return and mail your return according to instructions. 

Visit  https://www.identitytheft.gov/ for steps you should take right away to protect yourself and your financial accounts.

Did you e-file your federal tax return and was it rejected because another tax return has your Social Security number?

I see you posted this at the beginning of March. Did you ever get your return after filing? I just discovered someone used my dependents social and I'm going to print and mail to file with her as a dependent but I wonder how long till I get my return.

@Rebaerin325 It will take much longe than the average processing time.  Use a mailing service with tracking so you will know the IRS received your return.

Per the IRS website IRS Operations During COVID-19: Mission-critical functions continue: The IRS is not currently able to process individual paper tax returns. If you already have filed via paper but it has not yet been processed, do not file a second tax return or write to the IRS to inquire about the status of your return or your economic impact payment. Paper returns will be processed  once processing centers are able to reopen.

When the IRS finally opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds

State returns have to be mailed to the state.

How can I find if someone received tab claiming my don

[xmasbaby0]

@Brianharris The IRS will not tell you if someone claimed your child.  But if your own return is being rejected because the child's Social Security number has been used by someone on a tax return, you can print, sign and mail your own tax return claiming your child.  The IRS will process your return and sort out who could have claimed the child.

Print, sign and mail your own return which claims your dependent.  Mailed returns are processed differently by the IRS.  It will take some time (maybe even up to a year) but eventually the IRS will contact both parties and sort out who could rightfully claim the dependent.  The person who wrongfully claimed the dependent will face repayment of refund $, plus penalties.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

What is your question?

[RokoDogs1]

I seen that you made a comment on my question about gow do I find out if someone claimed my kids to get the Cronavirus Stimulus check that was due to them. I can't find what you said

[xmasbaby0]

@RokoDogs1 Did you use the non-filer site to get a stimulus check?  If you go back on that site by September 30 you can try to get the stimulus money for your children who are under the age of 17.

I don't file taxes i have gotten ssi for my hole life but they cut me of about 4to5 years now and I have no income  and I wanted to no y I didn't get my stimulus check no one should have claimed me im not sure if that is what happen but I haven't gotten my check so idk why can u help me

[DawnC]

Did you get the first stimulus payment?  @Cristina11   As long as you qualify for the payments, you will receive them.  The same eligibility rules apply to the second stimulus payment as the first one. You must have a valid Social Security number, and you can’t have been claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2019 tax return.

If you don’t receive the payments or the correct amount of stimulus payment, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your 2020 taxes and it will provide the same amount of payment as the stimulus would have. TurboTax will guide you through this to make sure you get every dollar you deserve.  You will be able to do this even if you don't have any income.  

We suggest that you save your IRS letter-Notice 1444 which is mailed after the IRS provides you with a stimulus payment. You can use that info when you file your 2020 return to make sure you’ve received the amount you deserve. If your stimulus payments weren’t correct, you may receive the funds as a credit which can add to your refund.

So I applied for the stimulus check I put my son on it but I only got the amount for myself not for him does that mean somebody claimed him and did not tell me how do I go about getting that person in trouble because I believe that is illegal I have sole custody of my son he is with me full-time
