Today, I filed my taxes. As a divorcée with children, I was supposed to get $3,500 back from the IRS. Alas, my ex's new wife already filed with my children, who don't live with her. I now owe the IRS $250. FML

Today, I sat down to do my taxes. As I was going over my forms, I found my employer only took $1.72 out the entire year for my Federal Income Taxes. I now owe the IRS over $500 that I don't have. FML

Today, I found out I owe the IRS over $2,000 because of a mistake they made. Their "apology" basically amounted to "Oops, our bad. Now pay up or you're gonna be Bubba's new bitch." FML

If you were in a divorce and have legal custody of the children, there should be some legal documents to that effect. Those should suffice to prove that you can list your children as dependents for tax purposes.

I work for H&R Block. It's simple, all you need to do is send in the divorce papers showing you are the custodial parent and make sure it is not his year to claim them and the IRS will take care of the rest. You will get your money and he will have to pay them back. The downside is that you'll have to mail in your return rather than e-filing, so it can take several weeks, but it's better than the alternative.
