Somone has fraudulently claimed me as a dependent on their tax returns. I think that I know who it might be but i am not sure. This may have been going on for at least three years. How can I find out who it is and how can I recapture the deduction? Thank You, XXXXX
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: California Already Tried: Nothing yet. I think that the person and the person who is claiming me is a San Francisco Firefighter name Harold Timothy French, whose address is XXXX XXXXX XXXX, Pollock Pines, California 95726 At one point 4 years ago he filed a "Domestic Partnership" with the HR department of the San Francisco Fire Department and added me to his insurance. I have not had contact with him for almost three years and have not been on his insurance for 2 1/2 years. I have also not filed my own Income Tax returns during this time.
Dear XXXXXYou may not get from the IRS information about the person who claimed you as a dependent. The IRS will not reveal this information to you.You may however file your own tax return - but would not be able to do that electronically - you should mail a paper tax return and add a note that someone fraudulently claimed you as a dependent - and that is incorrect.If you did not file your tax returns - you may do so - and you will get any refund you are entitled for past three years.The person who fraudulently claimed you as a dependent - will get a letter from the IRS requesting to pay back all overpaid money.
