@What To Do If Someone Claimed Your Child or Dependent?
(Legal disclosure: Although I believe the information contained herein & in the video are complete and accurate, I make no guarantee that is complete & accurate)
The steps below apply if a tax return incorrectly claimed your dependent(s) or if you claimed dependents incorrectly.
https://www.efile.com/claiming-a-dependent-on-a-tax-return/ #:~:text=You%20can%20eFile%20your%20return,IRS%20has%20received%20your%20documents.
Find out who qualifies as your dependent by using our free DEPENDucator tool.
If you used eFile.com when you completed your taxes, a PDF copy of your return is stored in your eFile.com account. Sign in and click on My Account before you download, print, and sign your IRS and state tax returns.
Gather dependent supporting documents about your dependent(s) and complete Form 886-H-Dep.
If you have a divorce decree, attach the relevant pages of the decree (including the first and signature pages) to your mailed return.
For example, you might also have to include copies of (have them notarized) daycare records, school records on official letterhead from a school, medical records from the medical provider, social service records from the social service agency, information from the place of worship that shows names, and common addresses and dates. Include a letter with any other information you think would assist the IRS.
Gather your printed tax return, income and deduction forms (W-2, 1099, etc.), and Form 866-H-Dep. Then, mail in all your documents to the IRS based on the address on your tax return. If you also have to send your return to one or more state tax agencies, find the state mailing address here. TaxTip: It is best if you use a U.S. Postal Office tracker to confirm that the IRS has received your documents.
If you only claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit for your child, but the IRS has sent you an audit letter requesting more information from you, you will need to mail Form 886-H-EIC and attach any documents in the form supporting your EITC claim. Use this EICucator tool.
Once the IRS has received your documents, they will examine both returns - the return with the claimed dependent(s) and yours - and apply the tiebreaker rules based on the criteria listed below. The process might take 8-12 weeks, or longer.
