What do I do? My son filed income taxes using myself and younger son as deductions without my permission?

even if you do hear from him, you'd be ahead to call the IRS and explain.

You had a legal order for him to pay support and he failed to do so--that is why your husband was granted adoption of your child. Once your child was adopted--the boys father's obligation to pay ceased.  Unless you agreed to dismiss the arrears due to you-he would still owe you that $.  Are you sure it was a letter to you or a copy sent to the boys' biological father.  Here is the AR website:\n\nhttp://www.arkansas.gov/dfa/child_support/ocse_index.html\n\nit may just help to call the office where your order is and ask.  I've never heard of a custodial parent being subject to tax intercept.

You better talk to a tax person.  If you've filed already, and took the deduction, then you'll have to amend.  But if you went to file and realized your mistake, they can help you back out your money.

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.

Based on your tax question earlier and this posting.... I am thinking you may need a bit more help than a tax attorney.\nYour 34 years old..(according to your last post)... It is time to grow up...

If your boyfriend has trust issues like this, how can this relationship last? That said, is he supporting you and your son? If you aren't working, then who pays the bills? If he is in fact the head of your household, and he is the breadwinner, then why not let him have the deduction. I think the issue here is whether or not your should continue in this relationship, not whether you should let him have a tax deduction.

Please verify with your state, but here in California, he owes it until it is paid. Your Mom is the payee, so you as the child can't get it, but she doesn't need to pay for an attorney. Have her get in touch with the Family Services department of your local court house and they should have free instructions on how to file a claim, maybe even offer a free class to walk her through it. Based on his income it may be a stupid small amount, just a few bucks a month, or they may seize his assets and she'll get a big chunk all at once. The good thing is they can seize his income tax returns and charge him interest. It's definately worth looking into. Good for your Mom for being such a trooper and taking care of you by herself!

Write a letter to your child support caseworker explaining the situation to him or her.  Leave out all the stuff about how the man doesn't see his child because none of that matters.  Just say you want to know about the welfare thing and that you think he is not reporting his income correctly by saying he pays child support for other children that may actually live with him.  He can get in big trouble for this.\nIt is hard to prove, though.\nI am sorry you have this man to deal with.  There are some really crappy parents out there.   Don't let him hurt your son's feelings anymore,,,and tell your son you love him enough for both of you.

You can not take a deduction for them. If they had a social security number and lived here and you pd 50% of their support you could. You might see if there is a non profit (like a church) org that you could donate to that would help your family. That would be the only way. Bless you for taking care of them!!!

You could call your local Child Support Enforcement Agency.  We are going through that also.

You may have to get a second job. Your son may also have to work part time, if possible.

If you mean as an exemption on income taxes, it would depend on whether or not he supported you or not.  Are you a minor?  Are your parents divorced?  Did he contribute more than 50% toward your care?  There are a lot of factors to consider.  If you KNOW you have the legal right to claim yourself then just do it and he'll be the one who would have to refute it in case of an audit.

this is too funny to tell you . . . go to the IRS.  They will actually help you.\nImagine . . . the IRS actually helping people.  too funny.

lol, I'm with Teri. I would say contact a tax professional in the state that he will be filing and they should have those answers, as state tax laws vary state to state. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. :)

Use a good online tax preparation program like CompleteTax.  The program can find all sorts of deductions and credits you probably don't even know about.

Call the IRS.  1-800-829-1040.  Do it later in the week though.  I'm sure that they are swamped with calls right now.
