Someone has been filing my child for the past 4 years and i wanted to know how can i find out or what to do?

Answer 1

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

If you are the one entitled to the exemption, go ahead and file, claiming your child. You'll have to file by mail unless you efile before the other person does. If the same child is claimed on two returns. the IRS will investigate.

You won't find out WHO is doing it - the IRS isn't allowed to give out that info.
