The IRS will not tell you who claimed the dependant, but they can advise you on what to do.
You will have to file a paper return
you and the person who claimed the dependant will receive a letter stating that 2 people used the dependants social security number, They will ask that both partys submit proof of who was actually eligible to claim the dependant. This can include school records, Dr records, copy of a lease agreement acknowledging that the child lives at the address of record.
The IRS will make a determination of who actually qualifies to claim the dependant. The person who claimed the dependant will then owe back any refund they received in error plus interest and penalties. This also raise a red flag on that persons future tax returns for up to the next 10 years.
Calll the IRS at 1-800-829-1040
Respond to any correspondence from the IRS immediately to expedite your claim.
This will cause a delay in processing your return and your refund

In an earlier question, you said that you and your husband file a joint return. If so, then nobody else is ALLOWED to claim you. If they do, and you file the joint return with your husband, then the other person's claim will be disallowed.
If you and your husband file your joint return electronically and it is accepted, then nobody else has claimed you. If it's rejected, it will say why, and might be than someone did claim you - then you'd have to file the joint return by mail.

the first person who files will get credit but if that person wasnt supposed to claim dependent you can file a form toprove who has custody or who the dependent lived with the longest that year to get credit and the other person will have to pay it back and it will hold up your return for awhile
