Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Nothing can stop someone from filing a tax return falsely claiming someone as a dependent.
All you can do is file a correct tax return claiming your children as dependents.
The IRS will investigate after they receive two different return claiming the same dependents usually within a year after receiving the tax returns. The loser of the investigation has to pay back any refund based on the dependents claimed plus penalties.
