What is the name of your state? Oregon
I just recieved a letter from the IRS today indicating my exhusband claimed 2 of our 4 children on his 2004 taxes for EIC. I am the custodial parent and according to our divorce decree I am the only parent that can claim the children unless I decide to grant him in writing a one time authorization to claim the children. I am remarried and my husband and I claimed the children on our taxes for 2004. My exhusband requested 2 of the children because he was having money problems, I told him no because he never sees or even talks to the children and even earlier in the year asked if my husband could adopt the children.
My exhusbad is active duty military and in order for him to claim the 2 children he had to either forge my name or copy a previous authorization from 2003, either way it is a falsification. I agreed to allow him to claim 2 children for 2003 because they stayed with him for 4 consecutive months and he was very persistant about it. I need to know what my rights are and if there is any penalty he may incure for falsifying information either by the IRS or the UCMJ.
Thank you.
