My fiance has three children. They have lived mainly with him since they were born, with their mother coming and going, always leaving the kids with him. After moving out, she would take them for a week or so at a time. Anyways, he is being audited for 2004 since the mother's boyfriend claimed them on his tax return and she received government benefits claiming the kids lived with her. We've sent all requested documents (birth certificates, deed to home, letter from school, medical bills, etc.) to the IRS, and so far none have been acceptable. They are now asking for him to send a mortgage statment, utility bills, complete school records, complete medical records, and the long birth certificate. The biggest obstacle he faces is the kids have her last name and she didn't want him listed on the birth certificate. Only one child was in school during 2004.
Has anyone ever had a similar problem? Maybe you work for the IRS and have some suggestions.
