Why did my partner claim her 2 sons as dependents?

Last year, she claimed the two boys on her taxes and, thus, received a stimulus check for both of them. My partner does not file taxes, and I did not see a reason last year for me to file jointly, as I already had three dependents.

What to do if someone else claim my son?

If one of you doesn’t file an amended return, unclaiming the child, the next letter, from the IRS, will require you to provide proof. Be sure to reply in a timely manner. Winner gets the tax benefits; loser gets to pay the IRS back with penalties and interest.

What to do if your ex is using your child as a pawn?

What happens if my ex girlfriend has a baby?

You could sign your parental rights away. That means you would never have any rights to your child at all, but you would not have to pay child support either and if your ex ever marries, her future husband could adopt the baby so he/she would have the same last name as her family.

Why did I break up with my ex girlfriend?

My ex-girlfriend is pregnant. We broke up 6 weeks ago and we just found out last week. She wants to have the baby. I do not. I broke up with her because I was positive we would not make a good couple or ever get married. I do not want this baby. I can not imagine raising the child with her- even though I am certian we will never get back together.

What happens if a parent claims you on your tax return?

If a parent or guardian, for example, claimed you on their return when they were not supposed to, they would have to amend their return. The IRS will have to process their amended return before your SSN can be used on your own return.
