How to report somebody for filing my child without my knowledge?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
There is no option to report someone filing your dependent on their tax return. All you need to do is file your tax return with the child as your dependent. If you have a tax refund the IRS will pay you the refund. You will have to print and mail the tax return if the someone filed first with the dependent.
Within a year the IRS will investigate and send you and the other party a letter in the mail. The loser of the investigation has to pay back any tax refund plus penalties and interest.
Thank you
