Can my mom get in trouble with IRS since she claimed my daughter?
Question: my mom lives in texas and me and my 15 yr old daughter live here in calif and i went to hr block to do my taxes and they said someone claimed her....so i could not claim my child because my mom claimed her and lied to the irs and said she lived with her and my mom lives in texas and us in calif!! i am outraged at how evil and back stabbing my mom is!! she did it because she makes a lot of money as an RN and knew she would have to pay alot of $ in taxes cuz she is single, but i am a mom and struggling raising my daughter and here she would do this what should i do??
Answers: This sounds like something an accountant or attorney should advise you on. But my suggestion, not intended to be legal advice in any way, is to determine whether or not your mom paid 50% or more of your daughters expenses. If she did, she may be able to claim her. Just my $.02.
Tell your mom that it was wrong of her to do it. Then tell her to straighten it out with the IRS or you will. Go ahead and claim your daughter as your dependent when you file your taxes and let her pay the consequences. Don't feel guilty as it was her who did wrong and not you.
depends do you want your mom to go to jail? report her and show proof it is against the law to claim someone who is not dependant on you
The 1040 I believe says if that person lives with you for the last zix months of the year and longer then you can claim them. But you cannot claim her and have to be ready to give answers. I would also send a notarized statement with your moms takes saying you give her permission cuz she lives with her gramma.
There are times when an another adult can claim your child, but you have to sign a form giving them permission. If you didn't, contact your local IRS office and report that someone claimed your child. Once it is resolved, you can file an amended tax return and you will get the deductions/return that you should have gotten the first time. However, it may take quite a long time, so be prepared.
Well, if you report her to the IRS and you will get a reward from the IRS for turning her in (you have to have her social security number). Or, you could talk to her and have her ammend her taxes. What she did is illegal. You have the right to claim your daughter, not her. You're a struggling single mom, this is just WRONG.
Claim your daughter and report your mom.
Find out from H&R block how you would go about making a complaint to the IRS and it will take a little time to fix, but she will get into some trouble for claiming your daughter. I know a person that was in your situation and the person that shouldn't have claimed the child had to pay it back to the IRS.
Its called tax fraud and yes, she can be prosecuted for it. How did she get your daughter's SSN? I think she needed it to claim her. Anyway, I'd make a call to the IRS and tell them the situation. They can audit her return among other things. Maybe since she is your mom, you should give her a call and try to settle it by making her give you the money for the tax deduction or turning her in as bad as that sounds for your mother.
Your mother can get in trouble with the IRS if she can't prove that she gave your daughter more than 50% of her support in the past year.
Your HR block person should be able to help you. They deal with the IRS all the time. Your mother has filed tax fraud thats a felony if they catch her without you turning her in you could get into trouble too. They may think you had something to do with it. I would tell as soon as possible to clear your name.
call the ira on her. oh yeah you can hurt her so bad if you report her
I don't think your mom has the right to claim your daughter without your permission. I would venture to guess that if you can substantiate the fact that your daughter lives with you in California, and has throughout the entire tax year (i.e. school attendance records), you should be able to contest it. But be prepared to wait until this is worked out. It may require a tax attorney or at least some filing of legal papers on your part.
Contact a tax attorney, or Neighborhood legal services.
yes this happens. you always hurt the one you love.
but saying that she does make more money then you and does she not help you out more then you could have saved in taxes?
don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
if you really think about the situation go to a person who knows the tax law but i bet you thought of this already.
what you mom did was not fair..but you can pick your friends but you cannot pick your relatives. in the end this lie will only come back to her and you will always remember the dirty trick that your RN mother did too you...real nice mom...you are a keeper...NOT
She already claimed her, so what you can do this year is talk to her and straighten this out so it doesn't happen next year. Tell her honestly--she has no right to claim YOUR child. Let her be this time (besides the IRS would much rather be investigating hardcore fraud) but make it clear she will not be claiming your daughter from now on, or you will have to pursue this with the IRS and then she might be asked to submit some evidence that her granddaughter lives with her.
That has actually happened to me and my husband. My husband's ex-wife claimed both of their daughters on her taxed (the divorce decree states that my husband gets to claim one and his ex gets to claim one). When we went to get our taxes done, we were told that the daughter we claim has already been claimed by her mother. We were told to enclose a letter with our taxes explaining the situation and that we were to claim one of the girls. The IRS took back the refund that they gave to my husband's ex and gave us the refund we were owed. Good luck to you!
It depends on how far you'll like to go with it take your daughters birth certificate and ssi num and tell hr block someone falsely used the number and that your entitled to the child claim. Tell your mom fIRSt and see if she will reimburse you.if she did it illegally im sure shell comprise inform her you spoke with somebody at the irs and they stated she isn't allowed to do it.Unless your child has lived with her in her house for the past year.Tell her you wont report her if she gives you the money you would have gotten.Or at least half and next year you'll get it all.
Report her to the IRS. If she gets in trouble, it's not your fault or your problem. She lied to the IRS, which is a crime, and she cheated you, which I think is unforgiveable. Turn her in.
Paper file your taxes and claim your daughter. The IRS will investigate and send out letters. Respond as appropriate and you will be fine. Go back to HR Block and pay the extra $30 for Peace of Mind. When the IRS letter comes they will help you out.
Good luck and file your taxes truthfully.
yes!!!! unless your daughter lived with her for over 6 months. she cant claim her as a dependant.
If your mother lied she can get in trouble. First of all,since you are the support giver for your daughter you can and will claim her. As long as you can prove to the IRS that she lives with you,you feed her,etc.,she is YOUR dependent. If and when IRS discovers that 2 tax customers both used the same person as a dependent,they will ask for proof,which you can and will provide,and she won't. She will be billed for the extra deduction plus interest ane penalty. If she makes trouble you may have to go to court,where you will prevail.
