I had a problem with my ex and taxes. I reported it to the IRS. They can trace it through your son's SSN.

Turn them in! Collect the reward!!! and revel in the fact that you did it, because taking your child's ssn makes it possible to leave the child open for identity theft!!! NAIL EM!
If you suspect or know of an individual or company that is not complying with the tax laws, you may report this activity by completing Form 3949-A. You may fill out Form 3949-A online, print it and mail it to:
Internal Revenue Service
Fresno, CA 93888
If you do not wish to use Form 3949-A, you may send a letter to the address above. Please include the following information, if available:
*
Name and address of the person you are reporting
*
The taxpayer identification number (social security number for an individual or employer identification number for a business)
*
A brief description of the alleged violation, including how you became aware of or obtained the information
*
The years involved
*
The estimated dollar amount of any unreported income
*
Your name, address and daytime telephone number
Although you are not required to identify yourself, it is helpful to do so. Your identity can be kept confidential. You may also be entitled to a reward.

If you really wanted to be nasty, you could amend your tax return for that year and claim the child yourself. As a parent, you'd automatically win. The trouble is you still have to pass the tests, meaning the child would have had to live with you at least half the year.
(For the "qualifying child" tests, 50% support is irrelavent.)
If the child never lived with you, then the only thing you can do is report them. There's really no harm done. Just a little breaking of the law for personal gain. Americans do it all the time, and a lot of them get caught.

IRS fraud, like breaking ANY Law can be reported. In this case, report what you believe to be true to the IRS in a letter. State what situation you believe to be happening, give SS#'s, dates, etc. (all the information you know). If you just think it, state you do not have those facts, but believe them to be true. NEXT, follow up with phone calls about what is happening. FINALLY, call your Senator if you don't get results from IRS investigators.
HOWEVER, you also need to ask this question. MAYBE, the guardian of you son (your x-husband) LEGALLY received help for the support of your son and that person CAN claim him.
Good luck in your quest for truth.

www.irs.gov or 1-800-829-1040.
Bonus: depending on the information you provide, you can collect from 1% - 15% of the amount they defrauded. More info means more money for you. And no, you won't get audited if you provide info, they want people like you to do this.

You can't learn if it's true. The IRS will not discuss another taxpayer's return with you.

you should be able to do it via the irs website. IF not, get the irs phone number off of the website and call them.
