hello,
Thanks for any advice you can give me, this might be confusing. my ex wife and I were together for 8 years then we got married in dec of 2012, we have 2 kids together
In 2013 my now ex wife claimed both kids. leaving me with around $5000 of tax debt. I want to amend my return and dispute her filling status. We lived together for all of 2012 . I made 2 -3 times as much money as she did.
We Separated in September 30th of 2014 . Nothing was filed in the courts until December 2014. Again she claimed both kids my tax return was rejected.
she had custody of the kids from the time of filling or separation
I want to dispute her filing status for this year as well. my return was rejected
now for 2015 she did the same thing claimed both kids.
in my divorce decree it states.
In the 2015 tax season the husband shall be entitled to claim one child as an exemption. Am i allowed to claim the kids as if they lived with me for the entire year?
