Today, I filed my taxes. As a divorcée with children, I was supposed to get $3,500 back from the IRS. Alas, my ex's new wife already filed with my children, who don't live with her. I now owe the IRS $250. FML

Today, I sat down to do my taxes. As I was going over my forms, I found my employer only took $1.72 out the entire year for my Federal Income Taxes. I now owe the IRS over $500 that I don't have. FML

Today, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML

Today, I found out that they won't hold my stimulus for child support, only to find out that they withheld it to give it to me when I file my taxes. Which child support will take. FML

Today, I found out I owe the IRS over $2,000 because of a mistake they made. Their "apology" basically amounted to "Oops, our bad. Now pay up or you're gonna be Bubba's new bitch." FML

I think you should seek legal help. What she did was illegal.

report her for tax fraud. they can't keep you from filing your children. all that would happen I'd they audit you and her and she would have to prove they live with her. if they don't you're safe..

CPA here... what does your divorce decree say? If it is NOT stipulated who will claim the children each year, then the children can only (legally) be claimed by the parent/guardian who had physical custody of the children for 6 months and 1 day of the year. If the filing of your ex (and let's face it, he had a part in this since they probably filed jointly) is truly fraudulent, file a paper return with a statement stating that the children lived with you the majority of the year (6 months 1 day) and you can prove it. It will take some time to get it figured out and fixed, but it WILL be done if you do the above. The IRS does NOT tolerate fraudulent filing and will investigate any allegations of such.
