every year my babys daddy files for my child she is nine years old. he has been claiming her for eight yrs. every year i submit papers showing and proving that she lives with me. he rushes to claim her and i end up with the short end of the stick, having to proove that she lives with me. i always get my refund late. when are they ever gonna catch up with this wrongfull claiming, we were never married and i do not have custody of her, neither does he. the only thing he has of her is her social security number. he told me that he recently filed bankrupcy due to oweing taxes i am not sure of how true that is. but i would like to know if i am claiming my child every year and he is claiming her to and i keep on providing the info that they need, what is the penalties for that. what will happen after they catch him and he keeps on claiming

If she doesn't live with you or him, NEITHER one of you can claim the child. It would be the people taking care of the child.
And thank God it isn't either of you. "Baby's Daddy" could you sound any more trailer park? Cranking out a kid isn't some financial benefit--if you aren't financially caring for the child you have absolutely no right to claim her and neither does he. You both suck.
The IRS is famous for waiting years to audit so when he does get caught, and eventually he will because everything can be cross checked, they will nail him to the wall for several years worth of deductions and penalties.

If you "do not have custody of her, neither does he" why are you concerned about who is taking the deductions for her? Do either of you know that she has to live with you over 1/2 of the year, that is over 6 months she has to live with you, to qualify as a dependent for either of you.
.... "proving that she lives with me.....having to proove that she lives with me. i always get my refund late."? How on earth are you proving that she lives with you when in the next sentence you claim that you do not have custody of her. Which statement is true and correct huh?
This is why the IRS is cracking down on fraudulent returns. Both you and babys daddy have been providing fraudulent information concerning "your daughter" and you both best pray for forgiveness and hope that the IRS does not catch up with you.
Filing a willfully fraudulent tax return is a crime.

They may never catch him. The IRS does random audits every year and his name just may not have been in the pool. It would help if you filed your taxes early. It appears he files them as soon as he gets them. When the IRS shows that 2 people filled for the same child they MAY do an investigation. First they will give the refund to the first person to file. When the investigation starts then your proof will come in handy.

If neither of you have custody of her then both of you will be audited.You have to either be taking care of her in your home for either 6 months to a year.But if she lives with you then you have the right to claim her.You need to claim your taxes soon as you get your W-2.

you should attempt to communicate with the IRS back. the guy who you spoke with initially grew to become into in all probability no longer efficient with the aid of fact they did no longer understand a thank you to describe. In my adventure, an injured companion variety is in many situations sufficient to circumvent your part of the tax return from being garnished. the only reason that i will think of the injured companion does no longer be sensible is that in case you probably did no longer have any earnings to evaluate or if the variety wasn't crammed out thoroughly/properly.

Call the Taxpayer Advocate's office at 10877-777-4778 and ask them if there's anything they can do. There might not be, but it's worth a call.
Good luck.
