Question

Trying to receive child tax credit but realized his father claimed him and has received all money. He has not been seen or heard of in over a year. Is this illegal?

If you are the custodial parent he can’t claim them without your permission. Since he did it already you will have to mail your return claiming the child. The IRS will send both of you letters asking for clarification.
