IRS rejected my tax return: Dad fraudulently claimed mom and brother as dependents. How to handle?

I found a way to solve dad's fraudulent tax filing issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khzlRYw63_k

An important step to consider is contacting the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit. If your father filed taxes without your mom’s knowledge, she could be a victim of tax-related identity theft. Also, try reaching out to Claimyr, as mentioned earlier, to get assistance with speaking directly to the IRS. While paying $20 to use Claimyr’s service might seem steep, it could expedite the process rather than waiting for hours on hold. However, also weigh this against free methods if cost is a concern. Importantly, gather all evidence such as financial records that prove you are the primary supporter of your mom and brother. You might also want to seek advice from a certified tax preparer or accountant who may offer guidance on how to legally and efficiently handle dependents on your tax filing. Lastly, going through a legal process to establish guardianship or financial responsibility might help clarify the situation with the IRS. Good luck, and I hope everything works out for you and your family!

I found a method to get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Plot twist: what if your dad is actually an undercover agent and this is all part of some elaborate sting operation? 🕵️‍♂️ (I watch too much TV, don't mind me

This is why the tax system is so messed up. It's way too easy for people to commit fraud and screw over their own family members. The whole system needs an overhaul. 🤬

Oof, that's a tough situation. Sounds like your dad is trying to pull a fast one on the IRS. You should definitely report this to them. They take tax fraud pretty seriously.

I had a similar issue with my ex. You need to file a paper return and include a letter explaining the situation. The IRS will investigate and sort it out. It might take a while tho, so be patient.

I'm in the same boat, my dude. My ex tried to claim our kids even tho they live with me full-time. It's a nightmare. Hang in there!

Dude, your dad sounds like a real piece of work. Not only is he committing tax fraud, but he's also on the run? That's some next-level drama right there. 🍿

You might want to consult with a tax attorney. They can guide you through the process and help you build a case against your dad. It's worth the investment to protect yourself.

Here's what you need to do: 1. File your taxes on paper, claiming your mom and brother as dependents 2. Include a detailed letter explaining the situation 3. Gather evidence that you're supporting them (bills, bank statements, etc.) 4. Report your dad's fraudulent filing to the IRS 5. Be prepared for a long process - the IRS is notoriously slow 6. Consider getting a tax advocate to help you navigate this Remember, the burden of proof is on you to show that you're entitled to claim them as dependents. Good luck!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk. but srsly, the IRS website is about as useful as a chocolate teapot sometimes. hope you get this sorted!

This is such a frustrating situation, and I'm sorry you're dealing with family drama on top of tax issues. Based on what others have shared, filing a paper return with detailed documentation seems like your best bet. Make sure to keep copies of everything - utility bills, grocery receipts, medical expenses, anything that shows you're the one actually supporting your mom and brother. The IRS will eventually sort it out, but it's going to take time and patience. Also consider reaching out to the Taxpayer Advocate Service - they're free and can help navigate complex situations like this. Stay strong and don't let your dad's actions discourage you from doing the right thing for your family.
