My refund is being rejected stating a dep. was claimed on another return. Is there a way to find out who used my dep. Ssn?

Unfortunately, no. The IRS will not reveal that information. The best thing to do is mail in your return. At some point you will contacted by the IRS.

"Shortly (up to a year) thereafter, you'll receive a letter from the IRS, stating that your child was claimed on another return. It will tell you that if you made a mistake to file an amended return and if you didn't make a mistake to do nothing. The other party will get the same letter you did. If one of you doesn't file an amended return, unclaiming the child, the next letter, from the IRS, will require you to provide proof. Be sure to reply in a timely manner."
