[Raquel4078FL]

Yes the father of my daughter claim taxes out of the state and King County Washington Seattle we’ve been separate for eight months before separation that I remove myself from the household I loved in June of last year he had no rights to claim my daughter and I need to pull a child life protection and he owns pay back child support for seven months core order 548 a month and the process is going to take another week before court hearing over the phone with the judge Seattle child support I need justice and I need to stop this this is been going on before separation without my permission and concern I live in Florida and I support my daughter and everything she needs and my son is MuguelBronson.

I'm still waiting for last year's taxes because someone fradulently claimed my child, and low and behold bevause the IRS hasn't even entered last year's taxes, this person claimed my child again this year , so we're at a small 14, 000.00 I'm owed but haven't gotten yet. Year 2 now 

[Tina4224]

Ya after 13 months and still waiting only its some random person not my sons father, and now rejected again this year because it's hasn't even entered last year's taxes, so no one even knows yet .

[Tina4224]

So whoever replys from turbo tax has been misinforming, it's not 180 days, as I am living proof, it's been over a year now

First the IRS is still a few million 2020 returns behind for processing so yours may be in that stack if you mailed in the return correctly last year. 

Now since this happened again this year I highly recommend you attach the form 14039 to your return to indicate this fraudulent claiming and then an IP PIN for the child will be issued for future tax years so this cannot happen again.

What if the parents were never married, and there's nothing on paper? My kids live with me though

If your kids live with you more than 6 months out of the year and there is no court order stating that the other parent gets to claim them every other year, then you get to claim your kids as long as they didn't provide more than half of their own support and are under 18 (or 24 if full-time college student).

If there is another parent that does not live with the kids more than 6 months out of the year, and there is no court order, the other parent cannot claim the kids.

Someone playing my son illegally on their taxes and I'm trying to get the paperwork so I can file my taxes and mail them in

[sadlerbutch76]

My sons father went ahead and claimed him without my permission and our son never visited or lived with him. I got rejected e-filing.  I can't wait a year for this situation to get resolved my son really needs this money for school. O and my sons father bought himself a Harley.

@sadlerbutch76  

Well there is nothing you can do about this except print, ink sign and mail in the return if you want to claim the child.  You could add a form 14039 to the paper return so an IP PIN is issued every tax  year for the child so that no one  can claim the child without that year specific number.

I was doing my return an tried to claim my two siblings as my dependents. Only one went through, because they rejected the other one because someone else claimed her as a dependent without our permission. What do we do if my return was already accepted with my other sibling ? Can we file a fraud report for my sibling that was falsely claimed?

[Critter-3]

@Blondegirl 

Not sure what you did ... did you file with only one child on the return or both ?    If you filed with both dependents on it and  the return was rejected for one child  then the entire return has been rejected.  If that is the case you can either remove the child and resubmit the return for efiling  then amend the return later to add the rejected child back  OR  mail in the return now with both dependents on it.

So if my husband left us in August, I’ve had my child(from previous relationship) and our child all 12 months while he was only around for 8, I am custodial? And my son(not his) of course he can’t claim without the form ?
