Tax Time - arrgghhhh!!!!
Forums:
Anybody have trouble with Ex claiming kids when she's not supposed to? Got a call today from our tax guy saying after he filed our returns electronically, they were rejected because the SKIDS SSNs had already been used. She's done this before (we weren't married yet) but now she's messing with MY return too and I am so pissed. We have to file a paper claim and submit the divorce decree. It states that DH gets them both for 2 years and Ex the next year. She will have to repay if she receives a refund or adjust how much she owes.
My question is: any suggestions on how to prevent this in the future? It just burns me because she knows what she's doing is wrong but she continues to do it every time. ARRRGHH!!!
file first
File as soon as possible after you get your stuff together. Start early. There is a form that should be submitted with the taxes showing the NCP can claim the kid(s) that the custodial parents has to sign. I think its form 8812 from the IRS. I have to sign one of these for my ex whenever he is paid in full on child support, then he can claim our BD but in the 7 years he has been able to claim her only twice.
You are in for a mess. Expect alot of waiting.
Even if it's in the decree?
Thanks for your response, Smurfy! I thought if DH had it spelled out in the divorce decree we didn't need the IRS form each time. Not sure though.

had this happen
last year , when we filed, DH, had custody of his son, and he lived w/ us full time, so we claimed him on our taxes, we consulted a pro,and he did our taxes. Well about 4 weeks later, BM is calling and writing a bunch of e-mails, saying we "stole her tax $$" . The stupid-a-- went and claimed him as well, and got caught, got rejected, or however you put it. She was yelling that we were going to be oddeted, blah, blah. Nothing happened to us, we even called the IRS, and they told us there was no problem with the way we filed, because my DH got full custody. So she did not get the $$, or the child tax credit. That is all those kids are to her, a $$ ticket. She is still screaming about $$ to this day. ~"Resist all the urges.... that make you want to go out and kill." ~ Chel.
"DH, had custody of his son,
"DH, had custody of his son, and he lived w/ us full time"
What would make her think she had a right to claim him? Other than the fact that they think they have a right to everything!

re;
That's just it.....she thinks she has a right to everything, and rules and laws don't apply to her. This comes from years of being bailed(for real) out of trouble, getting catered to by all, and her mental problems. Now everything has come crashing down, nobody cares anymore about her bit--ing, and screaming. Lying does not work anymore. And she no longer "rules the world". ~"Resist all the urges.... that make you want to go out and kill." ~ Chel.
I agree totally
I gave my ex a wallet size of our BD7 of her school pictures and he wanted more. I said they cost 40 bucks for the few I got. I did sent a wallet to his parents too. I think I did my part for the pictures and what I have left will barely cover the people I want to give them too and still have some for myself.
With school pics we pay for
With school pics we pay for a package in addition to the package the bm buys.. HOWEVER, one year she didnt order the right package for one of the skids, and she took 5 of our wallets out of our package and said she would "make it up".. WTF.. make it up HOW????
We also write the check out directly to the school.. since I dont trust her as far as I can toss her.
