my ex-wifes tax guy claimed both dependents for her. she is suppose to get one and im suppose to get one. I didn't know this until after the fact that I send my return in by mail. can you tell me what happens now. how do I get to claim my dependent?
When 2 people claim the same dependent the IRS will most likely contact both of you to find out who has the right to claim them or one. Your ex-wife should amend her return if she was not suppose to claim the child.
