File your own return (you may have to mail it) and let the IRS determine who can claim you.

First, go ahead and try to file your return through e-file.  If someone else has used your SSN, the return will be rejected. 

 

If it’s rejected, this has nothing to do with your ability or right to file your return.  Unfortunately, though, you'll have to file your return on paper -- that is, you can't electronically file your return.

 

If this turns out to be the case, please see the TurboTax Help articles "How do I print and mail my return in TurboTax Online?" or How do I print and mail a return in the TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software?” as appropriate for guidance on filing a paper return.

 

You’ll need to attach a statement, saying that your e-filed return has been rejected, and express any suspicions that you might have. The IRS will make a determination about this, although it will take a few months.

What can i do if someone without permission claimed me on their taxes? How do i fix that?

The situation is I did not work in 2020.  I live with my mom but the father of my two youngest children claimed them, me, and my two other children without my permission. His mother prepared the taxes in the state of Tennessee stating he lives there and us but we live in North Carolina and he was working in North Dakota most of the year after COVID.  They have never answered me about the taxes and what happened if any refund and he will be getting the child care credit and I dont know what to do because my mom already filed her taxes with my step dad because they could not claim us at the time because his mother had already done it.

For the 2020 return :

 

If you were qualifying dependents of your parents then they should claim you and the kids by mailing in an original return or an amended one if they already filed.  Don't worry about what the father did. 

 

For the 2021 return ... file it correctly and let the chips fly.  If you don't get the CTC in advance the person claiming the child on the 2021 return will get the credit then.

Tell your sister not to claim you on their taxes. If you need to file your own tax return and they have already claimed you, you can file a paper return, explain your situation in a statement, and attach it to your return.

Go to the IRS and request a personal identification pin. Even if someone has your information for a return or identity theft- they can not submit to the IRS without the PIN. Each year the IRS will snail mail you a copy of your new PIN. Here is the link to obtain your PIN. https://www.irs.gov/iden[product key removed]-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin
good luck!

Obtain a personal identification pin from the IRS. No one can use your Social Security number or information without submitting the pin to the IRS each year the IRS will send a new personal identification number to you via snail mail. Here is the link to obtain your pin from the IRS.

If you didn’t file taxes, then you would have to prove to the IRS that they did not support you. You may want to think about that because you’re going to have to explain how you supported yourself? You will have a difficult time proving fraud, which is a criminal charge. The only way you can “get the money” you think is yours is by filling your own taxes, claiming yourself as independent. But it sounds like this was a few years back…. And unless you filed an extension- which is usually 3-6 months. Not years.  My advice is to cut your losses, and move on. In the future you can apply to the IRS for a personal identification number so that no one can use your Social Security number or information without having that PIN. The IRS sent out new pin numbers each year via snail mail. Here is the link to obtain your PIN. https://www.irs.gov/iden[product key removed]-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin
