i am a tax preparer and the best thing for you to do is to go ahead and file and let them (irs) take what you owe so when you get trough paying them you can have your money for yourself.  Please have a dependent so that you can get enough back so that maybe you may only have to pay back two years, not child support but the irs

If you file jointly then you won't get what's owed to you. File separately if you want your money.\nOf course the big question is why isn't he paying his child support?

You would have to go back to family court and file a petition on him for non support. Make sure you take your legal papers with you when you go to show that you did have an enforcement in order

In New York state (which is all I know), you can file for child support if you are living apart, even if you are not yet divorced or legally separated.  He will then owe based on the date you filed those papers.  Here you would file in family court for this, unless the divorce papers have already been filed.\n\nIt is much easier to file for things like support and custody in family court, you can do it without a lawyer.  If your divorce is stalled, do it as soon as you can.  It will take some weeks or months to get the money anyway.\n\nCall your family court tomorrow and ask a clerk to tell you.

Contact Social Security and inform them of the FRAUD.  Contact the IRS and notify them of the FRAUD.  Hire an attorney and let him/her of the FRAUD.\n\nIf you have full legal and physical custody you're entitled to claim your children as dependents.\n\nTheir father's SSN will be a way for you to receive any funds due you.\nThe IRS has ways to deal with the fraud perpertrated on you.\n\nAlso contact the Big Three Credit Reporting Organizations and put FRAUD ALERTS on your childrens' SSNs.\n\nMaybe you might want to get new SSNs for your children.  Social Security will give you good advice.\n\nBut get an attorney as well.  You've been slimed.\n\nGood Luck

I was in that situation for a long time. I always made more, and so claimed the child myself. Do not file jointly, unless it's going to benefit you. The child earned income credit laws have changed (so my tax guy told me yesterday.) If you're single, you can file as head of household, and get the child earned income credit...and you might also be able to claim your partner as a dependant. My husband was able to claim me as a dependant when he was still my boyfriend. Don't be afraid to ask whoever does your taxes questions, and when in doubt, call the IRS 1-800-829-1040. Good Luck! -Vickie

supposedly yes but I would contact the child support contact site and get a confirmation or go to domestic relations and have them set it up for you

get an extension, and spend that time thinking about how to arrange the money to pay your taxes, or perhaps consult an accountant or someone to help you with your problem.  I think they will give you better advice than myself.

You need to go through the courts.  Have a child support order made by the courts, with an income deduction order, so that the money is just taken from his check and deposited into your account (no more bounced check worrries).  I went through what you are going through for years until I finally went to the courts.  By this point my ex was $14000 in the hole but had purchased a new car, enrolled in college for his masters degree, and was living great.  But whenever I questioned him about it, he would tell me how hard he was struggling and that he just couldn't do any better.  I, however, was living on a prayer and wish, maxing out credit card for grocery and clothing for my son.  And wondering if I would ever be able to get out of the hole he'd made.   \n\n\nIt took 10 months for the courts to straighten everything out.  I requested that I keep my son's insurance on my policy because my exhusband was very unstable and changed jobs a lot.  They had no problems with that.  They garnished his income tax refund for the next 3 years and made it very clear to him that his child was first in his life, not his new apartment  or car or school. \n\nHe pays the very least a non-custodial parent can pay.  I was not trying to break him, I just wanted my son to have the benefit of both parent's income.  Which I think is his right.  \n\nThink of it as fighting for your children.  You would never let anyone else take anything from them or cheat them.  Don't let their father.  If they lived with him, he wouldn't have a choice about taking care of them.  He shouldn't just because ya'll aren't together.  \n\nYou don't need a lawyer.  Just go to your local office for Child support enforcement.  If you don't know where it is, search child support and your state's name.  \n\nAlso, think about life insurance policy -- child support orders normally require both parent carry one because you need that assurance in the event of an untimely death.  \n\n\nGood Luck!!

Here is a link below that should get you started.  Click on the web link buttons under Child Support Charts.  Good luck.

go to the court system and tell them about your child support and that he has not been paying and that you want him to start paying and then you get a order against him for all of that and above. then see how he likes that.

Get the forms for the year in question and file the return. If you owe tax they will assess interest and penalty. If you are due a refund you need to get the return filed before three years are past at which time you will lose the refund.\nIf you don't file there is no statute of limitations running and they can come after the return at any time in the future.

I would go ahead and ask the IRS to open a dispute proceeding, and explain what you've provided here, but in greater detail.\n\nSince your joint daughter is not the issue, and I am assuming you were not married during 2005, these are the rules for your ability to claim your ex and her daughter.\n\nYour rights come as a result of the dependency tests under the Qualifying Relative standards under IRC §§ 152(b) and (d), as opposed to the Qualifying Child standards many people refer to that came to be from the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004 and the Uniform Definition of a Child. To meet the qualifying relative standard, each dependant must have lived with you for the year and been a member of your household, each made less than $3,200 in 2005, each be a citizen or resident, and each must have received more than half their support from you.\n\nFrom your dialog, it sounds as thought these conditions were true, you filed a return after the end of 2005, then you broke up, and her new boyfriend subsequently filed a tax return.  If so, then you have a winning case.  If you broke up during 2005, your case will most likely come down to dollars, who spent more.\n\nThe identifying infomation the IRS is looking for is first to identify who we are talking about, and that this was not a processing error.  Once that is resolved, the IRS will ask a series of questions and want evidence to support the standards I explained above.  Evidence includes all the money you spent supporting your ex and her daughter, including meals, medical fees, insurance premiums, housing, schooling.  Pull all your credit card records and cancelled checks, and start totaling.  You need to prove support and that they were members of the household.\n\nThe dependancy deduction does not revolve around immunization records and school files.\n\nThese cases are won on an accumulation of evidence for support, which means the winner has just slightly more support than the loser.  If you have a winning case, then you should feel confident going into dispute resolution.\n\nYou should be aware that in all cases where the IRS cannot make any determination as to who should get the exemption, it is lost to all parties.\n\nYou should also be aware that your ex could have claimed her daughter on her own tax return in order collect the earned income credit, and her new boyfriend could be uninvolved in this.  If so, your chances of success are significantly reduced.

Have you tried contacting your Senetor, or Congressmen?  How about the IRS?  They don't really like it when they get phone calls, or letters a million times a week because of some loser that won't pay for his child.  I was lucky and my Senetor got involved rather fast.  He was happy to help and it was free.

1. Contact an attorney in your state.\n2. Pay your child support.  I won't even go into what I think of parents who have no desire to support their children...

2 BIG brothers,an uncle,your mom and dad and a shovel. LMAO No really, you should contact your local child support office. They should be able to help you. I dont think you have to have a lawyer to start the proceedings.

1. Continue with the child support action.  \nSince you say it was filed "through the state" the only issues at trial should be (1) paternity and (2) the amount of child support. The child support will be retroactive to when the case was filed, and may be retroactive to the date the child was born.  \n\nIf your ex is still in the military your child support will come out of his pay and the military will send the check directly to you.  Your child will also be eligible for all dependent coverage, including medical insurance, medical care through military hospitals, beneficiary of your ex's life insurance, disability pay, death benefits, etc.  Talk to a JAG at the base closest to you and find out what these are.\n\nChild visitation will probably not be heard at the trial, the ex would have had to have filed a separate action asking for visitation.  Even if he did, or does in the future, he's not goinng to get much, if any, given he's not seen or supported the child in two years.  \n\nIn the eyes of your daughter your husband is "daddy", she does not need any paper to know that.\n\nAt some time, in six or eight years, you can, if you want, inform her that 'daddy' is not her bio father.  In ten or sixteen years, or after bio dad is out of the picture (e.g. he's out of the military and you can't find him) your husband can adopt the child.  \n\nOf course, seek advice from an attorney who can ask and answer more questions than this posting can.
