I am asking because I know of a person who was claiming a child that wasnt hers for two years.

Oh, good job. She'll have to pay back whatever money she got extra that she wasn't entitled to, plus substantial penalties. If she doesn't have the money to pay the full amount, her assets can be seized. She could also be prosecuted for tax fraud but probably wouldn't be.

I heard of a guy that has been doing this for years, and Ive also heard a guy who claims exempt status because taxes were intended to be on a voulantary basis for people also for several years. But the government is always right, and the government controls what they do so I imagine it is possible after some time that they would expect all the false money paid back immediately, including miscelanious fees for processing, then if the person were not able to meet their demands, they would start tacking on interest for the time it takes to pay them off. It may also ruin this persons credit.

If he lived with you and your son all of 2012 and if he made greater advantageous than you probably did, he can legally declare him whether he did no longer pay a nickel in direction of your son's expenses. He can no longer basically permit somebody else like his mom declare him regardless of the undeniable fact that. you are able to mail in a return claiming your son, and the IRS will tackle who's legally entitled to clam him. You and the different individual who claimed him will each and each get a letter from the IRS requesting greater information so as that they're able to %. definite somebody else claiming him will impression your financial help. that's achievable that he fairly hasn't gotten his refund yet.

I have a question? I know a girl who didn't work last year at all but went online and filed a return and claimed 2 children after lying about having any kind of income. What can I do to turn her in and what will happen to her? I know she recieved atleast 6000.00 dollars!

Your child does not have to live with you to be your dependent. It may or may not be the case that a person claiming a child who does not live with them is committing fraud.
There is no statute of limitations on fraud. The IRS can recover taxes owed due to fraud forever, plus penalties and interest. They can seize assets and garnish wages, as well as press criminal charges.

Tax fraud is never a good idea.
If this person comes forward and files amended returns, there is a good chance that there will be only interest and penaties. If the IRS discovers this as part of an audit, then there is a good chance that he will be prosecuted.

They don't like lying one bit.
Have you been paying child support? If you have you might be entitled to claim dependents. My ex & I each claimed one of the kids. I think that was based on the law.

You're toast. That's tax fraud and the IRS takes a VERY dim view of it. Prosecution is highly likely.

Hope you saved some money so you can pay the fines. If not they will take care of your room and board.
