The quickest way to fix this and find out what the proper forms are that you would need to file to stop this is to contact the individual Tax helpline that I have listed below with all the information and times to call. They will give you a clear and precise and legal route to fix this situation and direct you to the correct forms to file if it is not too late. I hope you get it worked out. :)

Do you or your daughter receive child support from her father or some type of welfare or Social Security payment? It`s possible that the child`s father has already claimed her as a dependent. You can call the IRS and dispute this if she lives with you more than half of the year, but it may be that a court order (paternity or divorce or child support) allows him to claim her as his dependent. In that case, talk to the attorney that handled the case or to child services.

Since she is under the age of 18 and a dependent and a full time student, she does not have to claim that amount unless it is over 5700 dollars in one year and does cover more than half her support. You do not have to claim the amount on your taxes that she has earned. She can if she wants file a tax return but since you are claiming her she cannot claim herself as a dependent.

She can still file her own tax return. She will need to make sure she checks the box that says someone else can claim her as a dependent.

If she paid federal taxes this past year, then I would suggest she files her tax return. She may be entitled to a tax refund.

When you go to do your tax return, you will need to make sure you mark the box that someone else can claim you as a dependent. This is very important. If you don`t mark it and claim yourself, you may delay your tax refund and your mom`s tax refund.

Your mother can still claim you as a dependent as long as you were a student under the age 24. You can still file your own tax return, but you will need to make sure you check the box that says someone else can claim you as a dependent.

Absolutely not. You cannot claim taxes for income you did not make yourself. It`s your daughter`s responsibility to pay taxes on the income she generated. You can however cliam her as your dependant, as it seems you did in this case.

Don`t do your taxes online go to a tax office and talk with someone in person. I had a similar problem with my taxes online.

Because he claimed himself as an independent you cannot claim him as he isn`t dependent upon you.

You will need to go to your tax preparers so that they can amend your taxes.

No you cannot claim your niece as a dependent.
