Child tax identity theft
I suspect my ex claimed our children without permission or legal reason. Did not have them for 3 yrs no court order. No forms signed. Since then we’ve had custody trials giving him child tax credit rights for years moving forward - not the year he claimed. I filed identity theft because he said he did not claim them however their socials were flagged when i filed as already claimed. It’s taken months and I haven’t heard from irs. I paper filed and claimed identity theft on them all from irs advice since I did not know for sure who claimed them. My question is now the the has a court order stating he gets to claim them (does not meet residency requirements) will he be allowed to claim them when he is found guilty of claiming them fraudulently previous years? He has not asked me to sign the correct form to claim them. I’m curious what will happen to him- his taxes and ability to claim them for future years since he had no rights in previous years. Will there be any consequences?
