My ex went behind my back filed real quick and claimed kids. Take the EIC credit off my taxes and give me the difference
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If you or a dependent that you are entitled to claim has already been claimed by another taxpayer, your e-filed return will reject since the SSN has already been used (either intentionally or in error such as a mistyped SSN).
Your only recourse is to file a correct tax return, claiming what you are entitled to claim, then print and mail the return.
The IRS will process both returns and pay any refunds. Shortly (within a year) the IRS will mail letters to both taxpayers asking if their tax return was filed in error and suggesting that they amend if they improperly claimed.
If neither taxpayer amends, the IRS will send a second letter asking for each taxpayers proof that they are entitled to the claim.
The IRS will evaluate each taxpayers claim and award the credit to one taxpayer, the other will have to payback any refund received plus interest and possible penalties.
Do not ignore the letters or you will loose.
Thanks, I was hoping I could call IRS and tell them take off EIC tax credit and then refund me what's left.
Letting me know I have to refile a paper return helps. I guess I still have to pay turbo tax fees
