I had the same thing happen to me two years ago. I had to mail everything in with my divorce decree to show I was the one to claim her. I was able to get my refund min June that year. It will take some time for it to process. Also he will be flagged for fraud when he files the next year. You did all you can do now you have to wait.

IRS does look at court orders after you hard file. It will flag and take a while. I found that I had to send and have verification of receipt because they didnāt get the first time. But also I would be at the court filing a complaint. My ex doesnāt have the kids social security numbers and did try once to get my sonās.

Content of court is the process mine is the same I am the only one to claim my kids. If he is to claim the kids thereās a certain form I would have to fill out for each child for him to able to. If he was to claim them without that form I am not sure what IRS would do.
find out what the IRS ultimately they donāt give a s*** what the parenting plan says you are the caretaker of that child you are the one that needs the legal minimum requirements he does not.
IRS will sort it out and kick his ass. Should be enough that he thinks twice next time. Any contact you have him, record, pictures on phone of messages. Always be respectful and to the point. Then take to court. There are remedies, they just take awhile. Another post on here mentioned preventative measures for next time. Sucks that it happened but now you can be prepared for shenanigans later on with him.
Patience and time. My nieceās ex tried to pull this and in the end, she received her return claiming their son and he got in trouble with the IRS

It usually takes a while mine took a month and my check showed up in the mail then I received saying they approved my refund
This happened to my fiance a few years ago. As long as you mailed in all the necessary paperwork you will get your refund but it may just take a few weeks. Itās a pain but they will then go back after him for the amount he received

Send all that info to the IRS!
When me and my husband separated I had to show school records of them living with me. I only had to do it the one time. The IRS will ask for documentation that the child lives with you and he will have to give it back if he has received the money. If not, they will do the audit for documentation.

Itāll could take weeks to months but once itās sorted out heāll be required to pay back what he received and you should get it. Or maybe call an attorney and try to make it so he has to give you however much he received for your baby.
Call the IRS donāt wait.
I had an issue before a while back. Someone (suspecting my ex) tried to clame me on their taxes so I had to submit all my info and copy of my ID along with other info proving Iām me and no one should be able to clame me. It took till May to get my return back but after that they mail me a special id number every January so that way no one can try to do it again. Unfortunately it will take a while for them to get it all taken care of but they will get it done. It just take time and patience. If you want you can try to call and fallow up but be prepared to be on the phone for an hour at least waiting on hold. Good luck
U will have to print them out and mail it to them. Send a paper of paper showing that u supposed to claim the child
I would recommend going down to an IRS location and be seen, I had to report to the IRS when my identity was stolen by my own father to file my taxes. I spent the entire day there to deal with it but by the time I left my taxes were filed and they filed against my dad for claiming me illegally.
The only way the non-custodial parent can claim the child is if you filed the 8332 form giving him the right. You can get this sorted out with the IRS just send all supporting paper work. He will have to pay back his refund and you will get yours. Unfortunately itās going to delay your refund significantly.
Contact the court and keep bugging the IRS. Fuck him and his bullshit. If the courts ordered in your favor his ass is grass.
Omg so my dad did this to my mom! It was a pain in the but in the end she got to claim us. When she asked what they were going to do about my dad claiming us they said they will hit him with in audit in 5-10 years so they can hit him hard with interest.

Iād call the IRS right away, and contact the court. Make sure to have all your proof. Itāll take awhile Iām sure, theyāll have to prove and redo everything but itāll be worth it.
There is a paper that you need to sign if you said it was ok for him to claim your child.

My exās baby mama did this to us when it was our year to claim him. We fought it but didnāt win
It would depend on the rules where you live. My last custody battle, I was in formed the taxes are determined by income of each parent. So if you both work it gets split between the two. For say you donāt work and he does, he gets to claim. Thatās not everywhere as far as I know. It didnāt used to be that way here.
Oh and court order doesnāt exceed the rules in your county
My ex did the same thing. Took a while but it was sorted out and he had to pay it back with interest and they released my refund to me.

This happened this past tax season to us. You simply file as usual and add paperwork proving you have had custody and been the provider for the child. Simple as that. It took 3 extra months for us to get our tax return but thatās it.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you are able to remedy the situation. Just be patient & wait until the IRS reviews your case, iām pretty sure they will side with you, and your ex will have to pay back the money, itās like fraud what he did. I hope it turns out favorable for you. Just stay positive and continue to take care of your children like u have. Let things play out.
If youāve mailed your supporting documents, then you sit back and wait. The IRS will stick him. It may take a little bit longer than normal.
He will have to pay them a penalty, just went thru this with my husbands ex, claiming kids that donāt live with her.

Youāll have to get with your ex, and he will have to amend his taxes so you can claim your child. If he doesnāt agree, you can file contempt of court, and that will result in a motion hearing.
Be patient, youāll get it, heāll have to pay it back, some dead ass parents do this for the mobey, and dont give a flying flip if their childs what it needs, they need to be drug through a cactus field, naked, and balls a bouncing for starters, P O S

This happened to my brother before. His ex had no custody or anything of his daughter and one year she just decided she was going to claim her even though she had nothing to do with her or supporting her. She filed her taxes early and already got her refund, we know that because she had a new car with no job and no other way to pay for itā¦, so when my brother went to file his taxes, they got rejected because she already claimed their daughter, and already got her money back. He had to send his taxes in VIA mail and send in proof that he had custody of her through the entire year and was the Sole Provider for her, and he did get his rightful tax money, just took a littlw bit longer. She had to pay back the tax money that was given to her. I doubt she ever did pay it back though because sheās a drug addict, who doesnāt work so I donāt know how she could have. I would imagine eventually she will get in trouble for tax fraud. Then again sheās constantly getting arrested and nothing ever sti,cks to her, sheās like the Teflon Donna, so she probably wonāt get in any trouble knowing herā¦
My ex wouldnāt have the balls to claim my kids, because do you really even sees them, and pays no money and child support. Not to mention the fact that owes the IRS money so they would just keep it all anyway, plus he doesnāt have their social security numbers only I do. However, that is why I always file my taxes as early as possible. Because there are people out there who can get a hold of your kids social security number and file a false tax return, claiming your children. I know the longer you wait, the better the chance of that happening, so I file mine as soon as I get my W2.
Report it. But if it doesnt say in the court papers who gets to claim it goes to the parent who makes the most money that yearā¦ thatās what I was told by the irsā¦ 
good luck. And I know if u contact the IRS to figure that out u wont be getting your taxes for them till summer timeā¦
Yell at him until he does an amend. Thatās what I did. Worked! But I wont see my money until April and Im super pissed about it.
Itās so annoying, because itās shit like this, and tax scammers, that are the itās taking me so long to get my taxes backā¦ Iāve worked at the same job for going on 8 years, my children are 3, and 6, so Iāve been claiming them for the past quite a few years, nothing has changed at all on my taxes, except I moved and I got a huge promotion and raise in November, still not enough to change my tax bracketā¦I do TurboTax every year, yet I just got a letter in the mail stating that my taxes were chosen to be put under review which can hold back me getting my return for up to 45 days. Iām so mad, they picked the first year that I am a single mother, supporting my kids on my own, in my own home which I pay for. Itās just really frustrating because thereās people out there who are scamming the IRS and already got their money, while Iām sitting over here waiting for mine to come in so that I can help supplement my income and help with my rent since I get no child support whatsoever, doing everyth,ing by the booksā¦ and Iām āunder reviewāā¦
When my parents split, whoever took care of my for the last 6 months claimed me, which was my dad. If my mom tried, too, she wouldāve been in trouble and had to pay back the money she got off of me. You should be able to report it then claim baby yourself
Go to an IRS office. With documentation. They can stop his return. And they will freeze his assets to get their money back if they have to.

Same thing happened to me this year. You have to file amendment after that is filled and sent to IRS they will notify you and the other party who claimed and ask for proof once thatās established and you prove that you took care of the child all year and that child lived with you all year you will win then he will have to pay all that money he got back plus he will be in trouble.
Have it in either divorce/legal paperwork stating you get to claim the child
As long as you report it, itās just a waiting game. Maybe follow up if you dont hear anything from them. He will need to pay the money back
Itāll take the irs approximately 6-8 weeks to process your information. Since you provided proof then they will cut you a check and he will have to pay his refund back.
If he is behind on cs then u will get the money anyway!
Just send all ur proof. Dr letters. Insurannce papers. Hell get audited. Youll get ur money. Unless a court orders it. He is NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
If you got the baby you should get the money report him and keep trying to get your money
If you have documentation that you get to claim her, then he can literally have federal fraud charges against him. Also, he had to have a firm signed BY YOU in order to claim her, so he had to have forged it!
About to go thru the same thing with my 2 oldest kids dad. He broke court order and I have got all my proof from Jan-Sept of 2019. He knew he wasnt suppose to but done it anyway and sent a sly text giving me heads up as he said that he claimed bothā¦
