www.irs.gov, "individual". If you have been "denied", this should mean that the IRS is requiring more information than SS# and Birth Certificate. You must prove that you take care of the children, send them to school and that they are with you legally.

You can't get an answer because your question isn't clear. You never need to put your wife on your tax return, you just check the box that says "Married, filing separately."
You can take the deduction for the dependents (even if they are not your kids) only if she doesn't take it. The IRS computer will kick out the return if it finds the same social security number for the kids listed on two separate returns.

File as single with two dependents, I was married but separated and I filed mine that way, if she is not authorized to claim them per a divorce agreement, you have the right to file. You say they live with you so that gives you even more right to file them. All you have to do is go and file. If you are still married, you can do it as married filing separately. I hope this helps! Good luck, oh and if she has already filed the kids, the IRS will reject the return cause the SSI #'s have already been used.

You have every right to put your boys on your tax return, if they live with you more than half the year. Make sure your wife does not try to claim them though because then that is a problem. You cannot both claim them. You should file married filing seperate.

Although I am not a TAx expert. and it is hard to tell from your Question what you mean but here goes anyway.
If your kids live with you and you provide at least 50% of thier support you can claim them as dependents on your tex return.
If they do not live with you and you do not provide at least 50% of thier support you can not claim them.
If someone else claims them on a return you could have issues if you get audited.
Free advice is not worth very much!

Are you married to the mother?
If the kids live with you (and have lived with you), you can claim them on your return.
Keep in mind, that the IRS is very wary of single men claiming kids. You may have to prove the fact that they live with you later.

You need a lawyer to clear up the matter, I see you have all the documentation. Also have their teachers at their school hand write out a letter to the effect that you are the caregiver and have the principal notarize/witness this letter.
