In 2011 I filled a tax return as head of household with my fiance (now wife) and her (our) child. Well obviously I got the earn income tax credit but in 2012 I was audited and long story short bc I was not in the birth certificate at the time I filling the return I had to pay back what they gave me I sent in so much material to defend my claim that I was the soul income and supported both her and our child. I've been paying on this for since and its just getting crazy and for the past years since then I've always had to pay in and me and my wife are finally going to admit my name to the birth certificate so my question is that what will they do when I 're submit the document stating I have legal rights over the child? Will they make me stop paying or will they refund me everything I've paid in so far? I've heard multiple positive things from many different tax preparers.
