Then if you try to e-file, your e-file will be rejected.
Because of this, there is an urban legend that the first person to file gets to claim the exemption. This is not true.
If you think you are the one who is legally entitled to claim the deduction, then mail in a paper return claiming the deduction. NO ONE can help you or accept any complaints until after you have filed a return claiming the exemption. You will have to mail it in on paper, rather than e-filing. (You can still use a computer to help you prepare your taxes. But when you get to the filing step, tell it you want to file on paper.)
After you return is processed, the IRS will detect that two people have claimed the same kid. They will send letters to both of you asking if either of you wants to change your mind. If nobody backs down, they will send a form asking you to substantiate your right to claim the kid. They will look at your responses and then decide what to do next.
you will have to pay your own taxes not your parents.
The parent that has the child 51% of the time gets the claim. You can merely report it to the IRS if this is not the case.
He can if he is paying them and you have not claimed them already on your taxes.
No, the state will accept only dependants listed on your federal return
your not notified when the non-custodial parent files their taxes and your not entitled to notification. if you are worrying about the parent filing and claiming your child/children there is really no way other then whomever files first with the childs social security number will force the 2nd parent filings to be kicked back because the child has already been claimed. to correct that you need to provide legal court documents saying you have the right to claim the child that year and it is a long drawn out process. unfortunately the IRS has NO WAY of knowing who is legally entitled to claim which child which years
Claimed 0 what?
Not on taxes no. The parent the child lives with has the main right to claim the child. But if that parent can't or doesn't want to then the other parent can
If you were claimed by your grandmother on her income taxes that would classify you as a dependent.
No
That depends on which state you live in, as well as other variables such as gross income, number of exemptions claimed, local or municipal taxes, etc.

The license suspension itself isn't a loss in regards to taxes, but if it led to losing a job, that can be claimed.
