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?

Report her. That's a federal crime!

No wonder your husband dumped you -- you are a spineless wuss! File your return with your kids as your dependents, and when the IRS comes to audit, rat out your ex's new wife. Be a man, Arthur Pewtey!

nobody cares. instead of crying about it on a website she should be making phone calls/writing letters and all around raising hell.

Because spending a few minutes on FML means OP didn't do anything else about the situation.

You are an asshole. Obviously, you only care about the money. I see why you are divorced. Granted, the other wife should have waited, but still.

Yeah, she's a complete arse for complaining about stealing from her, maybe instead of using the money she was owed she can buy the kids food with happiness and good intentions?

#30 are you an idiot? She doesn't "only" care about money, its expensive taking care of children. How would you feel if you were suddenly out of $3750? For the people who don't know how to count, $3500 that she is no longer getting plus $250 that she now owes is $3750.

how is she an asshole? kids are ******* expensive and money makes the world go 'round. and her wanting what the government rightly owes her doesn't make her an asshole on any count.

Well aren't you condescending? You don't know her, so don't tell her to shut up. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions.

happens all the time, put it in motion to go to court, her lawyer will suggest she settles and pays lawyer fees before it goes to far.

Read your divorce papers. If it allows you to take the deductions, amend your tax return to take the deductions. Then report her to the IRS for fraud, anonymously if you like. If your divorce papers give your ex the deductions, you are unfortunately out of luck. If the divorce papers don't say anything about this, see your lawyer immediately and question why he/she failed to address something so basic in your divorce proceedings. I wish you well--in a very painful part of your life.

yeah there could be an agreement that ex's gonna pay child support (which could be 1500 per month, depending on income) and then ex will claim them every tax year. side note: have any of you seen an op answer a question?
