Reply back to the state and tell them exactly what you have told us.

Did you claim for the child on your taxes ? If so, do nothing or write to the IRS.. either way you are in the clear.

NO,I DID NOT CLAIM HER ON TAXES. WHEN MY ACCOUNTANT TRIED TO FILE FOR AN ACCELERATED REFUND,THE IRS SHOWED THAT MY EX HAD ALREADY CLAIMED HER.

Then you should write to the IRS and inform them of her fraud and that you were denied a refund because of it. Also, in future, get your taxes done early and send a copy of the court order showing that you have custody.

On a seperate point, get back to court and have the guardianship changed to a proper court ordered physical custody agreement.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY.VERY HELPFUL. IVE CONSIDERED TAKING EX BACK TO COURT , BUT EVEN THOUGH SHES NOT EXTREMELY INVOLVED,SHE TAKES ME WANTING PERMANENT PHYSICAL CUSTODY AS AN INSULT TO HER PARENTING SKILLS.IT WOULD TURN INTO A WAR THAT I DONT WANT TO CHANCE LOOSING.SHES FINE WITH THE ARRANGEMENT AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T APEAR THAT SHES FAILED AS A MOTHER.LET HER KEEP HER PRIDE , AS LONG AS MY DAUGHTER IS HERE AND HAPPY.
ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU!
