On the issue of your tax return. Download or print a copy of the PDF of the return you filed. Look on the front page where it says "Dependents." How many dependents are listed there, and is the box for "qualifies for the child tax credit" checked?
On the issue of legality. If you left in 2023, did you have actual physical custody for more than 183 nights in 2024? If you did not, and you don't have a signed form 8332, you can not list any child as a dependent. If you do have a signed form 8332, you still must indicate in the program that the children lived with you less than half the year. If the children lived with you less than half the year, they don't qualify you to file head of household or get EIC. This could also cause your ex's return to be rejected, if you do have form 8332 but indicated the children lived with you more than they actually did.
After you check your tax return, you will see some, all or no children listed. If you are not entitled to claim your children, you must file an amended return to remove them. You also need to amend if you need to change how long the children lived with you so you can report the form 8332 (if you have one). To amend your 2024 return, follow these instructions.

Your ex's assumption that you claimed all 4 children may be incorrect, for various reasons. She might not understand the law, she might have another ex-parent claiming the children, or she might be a victim of identity theft. All you need to do is make sure that your tax return is correct.
Even if you do file an amended return, she will never be able to e-file for 2024. The e-file database won't be updated to allow it even if you amend. She should print her return (as long as she is claiming the correct dependents), sign it, and mail it in.

Hi, I am a member of a oil & gas partnership with wells producing in New Mexico where I do not live and have no other activity in New Mexico. I have a K-1 from this partnership and the partnership filed a composite return and paid taxes on my behalf. However, indications are, I will be due a small refund from New Mexico and am therefor filing for the refund. The issue I have in TurboTax is it seems to be asking me for the same information on two different screens, and each time I input the requested amount, my taxes increases, thus, you know it is taxing me twice. The first problem screen is the "Income Allocation" screen, focusing on "Income from Pass-Through Entities". It seems to ask for a number here and again a screen later "Business Allocation Summary". I am attaching screen shots of each where the number is asked for and entered and each time I enter, increasing my tax. TurboTax is giving me ZERO help as for why I would simply skip one of these boxes to get to the right amount due. So I don't understand what is going on. I am also getting an completely nonsensical error which i have included in one of the screen shots. If I follow it through on the forms, the logic is completely circular, so I can't make heads or tales out of the error message. Pictures are of the relevant screens and my New Mexico K-1 equivalent. I have called the TurboTax expert line and they had NO clue what to do. First Screen that takes Federal Sch E Line 32 (had to trace on my own, no help from TT) These amounts tie to my New Mexico K-1. I don't understand the error message, because the only numbers i have entered are the other screen pictured of 151666 and these here. So how the heck is it generating an error? Screen shot of my NM K-1 Equivalent.

Only the IRS is in control after you file your tax return. The "average" time to get your refund is three weeks, but it can be sooner---or take much longer. After you e-file, you can track your refund on the IRS refund site.
To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.
Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities. There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
https://www.irs.gov/refunds
To track your state refund:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr
If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing

The IRS will not tell you who--if anyone--used the children's SSN's. But if there has been any sort of duplicate use of the child's SSN, the "second" attempt to use the SSN will result in rejection.
You started off by saying that you are "no longer with my family" which suggests that the children live with the other parent. If you are not the custodial parent, then unless you have a signed agreement you should not have claimed the children, despite any previous verbal agreements you had with the other parent, or your perceptions of inequalities in the support provided by you before you left in 2023.
If the children lived with the other parent, then the other parent can claim them. If you used any of the children's SSN's on your own return, the other parent can claim the children and either file by mail claiming the children and let the IRS sort out the duplicate use of the SSN's, or the other parent can file by using a six digit IP Pin to claim the children. See below for details.
If you should not have claimed the children, then you should amend your own return to remove them as dependents on your return.
If the other parent needs an IP Pin
another option
GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return
