If they will not remove the dependent, you may file on paper. The IRS will contact both parties to determine who is entitled to claim the dependents, and will credit the person that met the requirements. If it is determined that the other party should not have claimed the dependent, the IRS will make them pay back the exemption along with any penalties or interest associated with their false claim.<BR /></P> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 17:39:10 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/yes-if-you-file-your-taxes-and-your-dependent-has-been-c/01/287543#M121826 AmyW 2019-06-03T17:39:10Z
