@timd309 When you have that problem the ONLY way you can file your return is to print,, sign and mail your return that claims your children. You cannot e-file. The IRS will sort out who could claim the children.
When you mail a tax return, attach any W-2's or 1099's that show tax withheld. Sign it in ink and date it. Use a mailing service that will track it --like certified mail -- so you will know the IRS received it.
Federal and state returns go to different addresses.
