You cannot and the IRS will not tell you.
Just e-file your tax return with the dependents entered. If your tax return is rejected because someone else claimed the dependents on their return, the rejection code will indicate that. Then you will have to print and mail the tax return with your dependents entered on the return. If you have a tax refund the IRS will pay the refund.
Within a year the IRS will send letters to both parties to determine who was eligible to claim the dependents. The loser of the investigation get to repay any tax refund based on the dependent plus penalties and interest.
