1. what the divorce decree state? if it's silent, then go to step 2. 2. who is the custodial parent? him..stop here;he gets the deduction. you, go to step 3. 3. file your tax return, which will probably have to be done on paper vs electronically, and claim the kids. THEN, when you get the letter from the IRS saying someone else claim the children, be prepared to send in divorcee papers and school records showing you are the custodial parent. The IRS will send him a revised bill and he'll have to pay back.
