I'm 84 and I support myself, I live with a family member that does not claim me on their taxes. However I'm being fraudulently claimed as a dependent on someone that does not support me in anyway physically or financially. What and how can I change this?
Go to this IRS website for information on how to report a fraudulent tax return being filed - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/how-do-you-report-suspected-tax-fraud-activity
If you are trying to e-file your tax return and it is being rejected by the IRS due to someone else claiming you as a dependent, you will have to print and mail the federal tax return.
Within a year the IRS will investigate and the loser of the investigation will have to pay back any tax refund plus have penalties and interest assessed.
