In my divorce i was told i had the right to claim my child everyother year on my taxes....?

In my divorce papers i was given the right to claim my child everyother year on my taxes until my ex thru a fit the first time that i went to claim him. I held back for several years and now he lives with me. I come to find out he claimed him before i could get my taxes done. what can be done to get my tax return figured correctly with my boy on my taxes, is there a way to make him pay back?????

Yes there is a way. File your taxes claiming your child, but make sure to submit a copy of your divorce decree along with your taxes. Basically what will happen is this: If your ex has already filed, but you are entitled to file this time, the IRS will look into the matter. If they find that you are indeed the person that is allowed to claim your child then your ex will be contacted by the IRS in regards to the fact the he will now owe money to them. This money has to be paid before he can file another tax return or claim your child again. If they find that you are not entitled to claim your child this time around then you will get the tax refund coming to you. Make sure to submit a copy of your divorce decree when you file and keep your old tax papers on hand in the event that you are audited by the IRS. Good Luck Source(s): Informed by my accountant

I go through this every year. I have to send in the copies of my court order with my taxes. The government agencies then rectify the matter with my ex. Good luck.
You should of abided by the court order and let your ex throw a fit all he wants. Make sure you claim your son the years you are suppose to. Your ex does not owe you money, you chose to not claim your son when you should of. You let the ex have the upper hand on that one.
report him that he fraudulently claimed the child but untill that happens not much you can do hey i wonder if we have the same last name
claim him on your taxes, the irs will ask the rest of the questions.
like who was he living with that year, who has custodial over the child , ect......., they will make the other pay the credit back...
You have a legal document that states which year you can claim him...odd numbered years or even numbered years. If he is going against the court and the decree, I suggest you contact a lawyer. You are going to need proof of this. Also, the IRS might be able to help. They can audit him.
