The IRS can't tell you because they're bound by the Privacy Act.
If you're entitled to claim yourself and your children, file your own tax return, claim yourself and the kids, and then both you and the other person will be contacted by the IRS. The IRS will make the decision as to who is entitled to claim you and the kids.

You can't. The IRS will never disclose this information as it violates privacy laws to do so. Everyone has the right to privacy, including whoever is claiming you and your children. However, you can still file a paper return and submit back up documentation and the IRS will allow you claim yourself and your children. They will then contact the other party and disallow their claim and adjust their return. If the IRS determines the return was filed fraudulently then they will deny that person from ever claiming certain credits like Earned Income Credit, etc.. and even file charges against them.

Contact the IRS. Tell them that whoever claimed you and your children is not authorized to do so. The person will get in trouble and be audited and might even have to do jail time. I'm not sure if they release the info. to you, but I think they have to so you can sue them to get any money back that you would have made from filing your tax return, ie your refund.

I had a friend with the same problem, someone was claiming his son, he still hasn't found out who it was. The iRS refused to release the info.
