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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my tax filing status was never changed after my divorce. This means I haven't been paying enough and now the government wants its money. FML
Today, I found out that I owe the IRS money due to my previous job not taking enough taxes out. I am broke, unemployed, and was counting on a big refund so I could pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I filed my taxes and I normally claim my parents as dependants. My taxes got rejected because my parents filed their taxes without informing me, and they don't have income. They believe if they file taxes, they get $5000 back, per Trump. It ended up costing me over $3,500 extra. 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, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML
Today, my ex showed up to pick up our kids in her brand new car. Last month child support doubled my amount because of a paperwork error. FML
Today, I was super excited to receive a large inheritance, maybe put it towards a house and a vacation. To my horror, the entire 40k went to my child support arrears. My psycho ex is the one who wanted those three kids, not me. FML
Today, I got a gift from my wife in the form of divorce papers. She waited till after New Year's so it wouldn't show up on her taxes for 2011. FML
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
Today, I finally was able to complete my taxes and I had a look at the IRS website to check my refund. They changed it from 1K to $10. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Had that happen to me. Proof has to be shown that the kids lived with her. When she cannot provide proof and you can she will be paying out the ass in penalties. I got my money back and my ex had to pay back almost double what she had gotten due to fines.

Report it to the IRS and file a form1040X. Trust me the IRS WILL correct it. They don't want to pay a fraudulent tax filing. Also if it was agreed upon that you claim the children in the divorce decree you can take her and your ex to both family court and federal court. Good luck :)

report her for fraud on her taxes.(:

Most likely the new wife knew she'd get more money back with the kids. Sure it doesn't make it right.. but the op can always sue.

I'm sure it is... most divorce w/children decrees stipulate who gets to claim the kids. ex. Mother claims children odd years. I would write the IRS and send appropriate paper work, if OP does have it in writing. If not OP's screwed!
fruitloop1221 1
actually no. I just went through all of this and Apparently if they are married and are his kids then he can file for them whenever. yes if it's in the divorce papers that he old gets such and such years then she might have something but the cost for a lawyer is going to be twice what she owes. and if the ex and new wife file together then technically they can be her kids and they will get the money. the IRS doesn't really give a crap.

Hockeyrocks, as much as I love the sport too, your pic kinda gives me the willies :(

technically if the kids do not live with the father and his new wife then no only the mother can claim them unless otherwise specified in divorce papers
mudkipsan 19
Everybody is mostly right. 1) The parent the kids live with more than 50% of the time gets to claim them 2) Unless there is a divorce agreement that says otherwise 3) Fun exception: If child support is higher than the recipient's income, the non-custodial parent can claim the children as dependents. 4) This often results in a shitstorm

hahahahaha... me too! I'm not a dude if that helps...

I just got a divorce, I was lucky enough to talk my dunce x husband into letting me claim our son every year, now usually if the parent paying child support continues to pay the divorce decree will state that in even years the mother claims the children, in odd, the father.
BaronSin 0
unfortunately you're right the cost of a lawyer to solve this outweighs the recovery. best to just communicate and resolve it that way
jessyrob 0
it is fraud. call the IRS and the ex and new **** will get into trouble and have to pay the IRS and u back as well. then take them back to court and explain it to the judge and punish them both. lol I know it works I've done it. cuz my ex did the exact same thing to me.
Andicc 19
The only ones legally allowed to claim the kids on taxes unless there is another arrangement in the divorce, is whoever the children reside with 60 percent of the time.
