If you are trying to file your own return and are not able to efile due to someone using your dependants SSN,, File a paper return and mail it in.
When 2 people claim the same child on a tax return, It raises a flag with the IRS. They will first send a letter advising that the same SSN was used twice and advise that the person who was not entitled to claim the child needs to file an amended return. Then if no one corrects the return the IRS will request from both parties to submit proof of entitlement to claim the child. The IRS will then make a detemination on who is entitled to claim the child and it the person who is seen as the one NOT allowed to claim the child will owe back any refund they received in reference to the child along with penalties and interest and their Tax return will be flagged for review for up to the next 10 years

Have you reported this case to the Social Security Administration?
If yes, you shouldn't be worry. And if you've received a letter of confirmation from SSA then contact the I.R.S when filing your income taxes along with a letter of explainations on your behalf, I.R.S computer will track your son SSN if someone is using it then they will catch them.

Contact the IRS. Contact the major credit reporting agencies. But is is possible that someone had put down the wrong number on their taxes. That is possible. If the child has an absent parent, he could have used it. That is not uncommon. There could be a lot of reasons. But first, contact the IRS and get the details.

Assuming that your son lives with you, go ahead and file your return claiming him. The IRS will the contact both you and the other person asking for proof that you are the person allowed to claim him, and the other person will have to pay back any extra taxes.

The bio dad and mom had stolen lots from the youngsters, and did no longer have a concern utilising their numbers for all styles of crap. In analyzing the posts at here, I see an excellent sort of unfavorable comments concerning to the adoptive dad and mom. sounds such as you think of the adoptive dad and mom basically drove down a highway, seen a baby and reported i'm going to have that one....it would not paintings that way.
