Well, it has happened to me.
I filed my taxes yesterday and crossed my fingers that Evie's mom had not claimed her first. (Since she has been with me more than six months of the year, I am the one who can claim her on my taxes.)
And then I got a message today from my tax preparer that the return had been kicked back because someone had already claimed Evie. Great.
I should have known because on January 29, Evie's mom FINALLY got a cell phone of her own (she has been using her mom's for the last three months); and a few days later she told Evie she had bought her a Frozen bed set she had been asking for, as well as a Frozen bookbag. Now she's going to have to pay the money back to the IRS... and I'm sure every penny of it is already spent.
Now I begin the process of gathering documentation to prove that I am actually the one eligible to claim her. Ugghhh.
