You will need to mail your return to the IRS, or you will need to e-file without your daughter.
The IRS
will write to you and the other person and require you both provide
documentation to prove the child's residency with you. You will need to send a
collection of the following:
- Rent receipts
- Utility bills
- School records for your child
(if applicable)
- Doctors notes, or a pastors
note.
- Notes from neighbors, or third
party people that the child lives with you
- Anything you can come up with
the proves the child was with you.
The IRS will decide who can claim the child as a dependent. If the IRS determines that you get the exemption, they will pay you your refund (if the haven't already) and they will make the other person repay the IRS.
