Yes, a fraud claim can be submitted.

 

To do this, contact the IRS: 

What to do if you suspect tax-related identity theft

What if somebody already claimed my dependent?

 

If possible, ask the person who filed a tax return claiming your children as dependents to amend the return. Otherwise, the IRS will eventually contact you both and determine who qualifies to claim the children.
