what type of form should i fill out to handle this matter so he cannot file for her. I am the custodial primary caretaker
Answer:
Assuming there is no legal agreement, the custodial parent is the person who can claim the child.
The non-custodial parent can ASK the custodial parent to sign a form 8332 that allows them to claim the exemption and the child tax credit only. The form must be attached to the original return.
When you file, you will mail your return in. After it's processed both you and your ex will get mail asking for the person in error to amend their return. When he doesn't, you will both be asked to show who had custody. He can't, so he'll be asked to pay his excess refund back and if he claimed EIC, he can be banned from that program for 10 years.
Answer:
I would contact IRS immediately and let them know what is going on and they should be able to help you take care of this
Answer:
you have to contact irs hun. you can mail in your return with a letter stating what happened, and proof your daughter is with you, and let irs deal with it.
Answer:
Technically, unless your daughter is a dependent on his insurance, he cannot file her as a dependent unless she lives with him at least 6 months out of the year. He already gets a deductable for child support.
Answer:
If this has not been decided in your custody agreement, whoever provides 50% of the childs financial support makes the claim.
Answer:
If the child lived with you more than six months of the tax year without him living there also you can claim the child and not him. If this is the case you need to file your return with her as your dependent and the IRS upon receipt will contact both you and him asking for one to amend their return or to send proof of your right to claim the child. Proof will be such things as school records, daycare or medical records with your address. Affidavits from third-parties.
If the child lived with both of you during the year the parent the parent she lived the longest with is the one who can claim her. If she lived the same amount of time with both parents then the parent with the highest AGI is the one to claim her.
