Re: Taxes
You can generally claim a dependent if you provide more then 50% of their expenses for the entire year. If your ex boyfriend did not, and falsified his tax return, speak to a CPA, but you should probably claim your son yourself, and keep good records. There is also a tip line for the IRS to report people committing tax fraud, depending on how much we are talking about, the tipster can recieve part of the recovery as a reward.
