You can report it and she will have to pay back the IRS unless you both have custody or she pays part support for him

File your taxes ASAP. If she files before you than you may get a letter back from the IRS. If so, you will be able to show that you have custody. Your custody order may say who gets to claim him and if it doesn't than the Internal Revenue Code has a formula to determine who can claim a dependent. (it looks at who supports the child and resides with the child, etc.)

If you have the legal right, you claim your son. You can call the Government Line and inquire what further steps you can take or write a note in your tax return that you think your ex wife claimed him fraudulently.

If you have legal custody of your son, then the tax deduction belongs to you. She has claimed it in error. Include a copy of the cutodial judgment and a note stating that your ex may have claimed the deduction in error.

I had the same thing happen! My ex wasn't even paying child support, (she was dodging service by the local sheriff dept). When I found out about it, I got a letter from my child support atty and included with a nice long letter to the IRS.
Now the ex has had her returns audited by the IRS for the past 3 years and is paying back serious money along with fines and interest!

Mine did the same thing too,I called the IRS on her and the slimy judge who has a tax business too.They garnished her wages and did nothing to the 450 lb.pig judge whom filled out the forms.
I had the slimy judge removed from the bench for life in NY State.Now the land whale is a rennselear Co. legislator.

This should be stated in the divorce papers. If not--does she pay child support?? If yes, then she is entitled to claim him every other year--I think. This needs to be settled through the courts and written into the divorce. If you feel you are entitled claiming him every year--then do so--and hope for the best.

If the has contributed more than 50% of what he needed, she may legally do that. If not, she is in a heap of trouble unless she straightens things with you. If she doesn't, you can claim him and let the IRS come after the wrong doer.

Tell her to refile because you are going to claim him and she will be in a heap of trouble with the federal government. File claiming him as you should. If necessary, report her.

what you do is claim your son and allow her to claim him to but tell her you are and when you file your taxes the IRS will question the two of you and when they see he is with you she gets in trouble.
