Someone else claimed my dependent and my return was rejected

If someone else claimed your dependent already, then your e-filed return will be rejected. Print, sign and mail your own return which claims your dependent. Mailed returns are processed differently by the IRS. It will take some time (maybe even up to a year) but eventually the IRS will contact both parties and sort out who could rightfully claim the dependent. The person who wrongfully claimed the dependent will face repayment of refund $, plus penalties.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Save your supporting documentation for the letter you will get from the IRS at a later time. Do not send it with your tax return.

Print and mail your tax return. Only attach documents required in the instructions, such as copies of your W-2s. Don’t attach any documents related to custody or your dependent claim. The IRS will contact you later and ask for those documents. If you attach them now, they will just get lost.
