As the title states, the father claimed the child on taxes for 2021 and it was supposed to be my year to claim. There is a court agreement where we switch every year. He says he forgot it wasn’t his year, and then said I should have filed earlier and this wouldn’t be a problem. My question is there anything I can do to get my refund for the child now? Also what is preventing the father from doing this every year?
Edit: thanks guys for all the insight. Mailed it in and all the advice helped!
