Question: Claimed eic when not my turn due 2 agreement with ex wife, now she wants to turn me in for fraud?

we share placement and custody WITH current mediation agreement, has us splitting time 50/50

in wisconsin, according to agreement we take turns with claiming as dependentWe had verbal agreement to allow me Child Earned income credit, and got along peacefully most of 2009. Agreement was due to many favors and loans i provided. I filed my taxes a week ago and already got my money. Now she is mad and threatening to turn me in for EIC or tax fraud!!!!

I am aware we have no written agreement, and if taken to court for EIC issue, i would lose.

I have no previous tax issues, and this was just a verbal agreement gone bad due to my new relationship...

This was absolutely no flagrant violation, except for my stupidity not to get it in writing. what will happen? Will she have to tak me to court or does IRS pay her too, and make m pay them back....

please hlp.

Answer: If you filed for a credit that you were not eligible to receive, you will have to pay back any money you received as a result. The IRS will not mediate in disputes such as these, but they will come after you for fraud if you don't have your ducks in a row. And in the future, get these agreements in writing and give them to your attorney. That way, it won't come back to bite you.
