How can u find out if someone is claiming your qualifying relative on their tax return!?

Answer 1

Same answer that i gave you for the qualifying child in the earlier post.
FYI
If you have a qualifying relative then you don't qualify for the child tax credit, dependent care credit, or earned income credit.
Also if your qualifying relative is someone else qualifying child then you can't claim them

Answer 2

If two returns claim the same person as a dependent, you'll each get a letter from the IRS that one of you has to amend your return dropping the claim. If nobody does, then the IRS will ask for proof from each of you that you are entitled to the claim, and will decide who gets it.

If you think someone else will also claim someone you are claiming, you could ask them, and sort it out up front to avoid getting involved with the IRS paperwork.

For a qualifying relative, one of the tests is that you must have provided over half of the person's support for the year. So expect to have to produce evidence on that if someone else claims the dependent also.

If nobody provided over half of the support, but someone or multiple people provided over 10%, there's something called a multiple support agreement that can allow someone who provided over 10% to make the claim. There's a form that must be signed by everyone else who provided over 10% agreeing that they won't make a claim. This sometimes happens with elderly parents when several of their children share in supporting them.

Answer 3

Ask. You can't get access to someone else's return. But if you both claim the same person, the IRS will eventually discover it and require you to prove that you were entitled to claim that person.

Answer 4

Same answer as for a child. Go back and read that one.
