Somone claimed my son on their taxes. I know it wont his father hes in jail how do I file him for last year and this year. Because they rejected my taxes

if someone already claimed him all that can be done is to paper file. 

 

there should not be a problem in e-filing his return as long as it's mark the he an be claimed as a dependent.  if this is not true then his return will also have to be paper filed

 

 

what will happen is that the IRS will eventually send you and the other claimant a letter asking for proof your entitle to claim your son.   the letter will contain items you can submit as proof.   the one with the better proof gets him as a dependent.
