I e-filed my taxes yesterday and claimed my daughter EIC(earned income credit). Well, I got an e-mail saying that my return was rejected and to go back in Tax Cut a look at why. Well, someone else claimed my daughter. It turns out it was my father that did. He claimed that he didn't know he was claming her, he thought he was just doing a credit on her. What steps do i have to take now on my part? My dad said that he looked it up and figured out he has to fill out and send in some kind of 1040 tax paper to retract his taxes or something. Well, he was kind of distant giving me the answers to my questions. Can someone please tell me what steps I should take or my dad should take to get this all figured out. I was planning on having my return in a couple of weeks probably sooner. I didn't even know that he was going to be claiming her. Also last year when I lived with him and my mom full time with my daughter they calimed her. They told me I didn't make over $20,000 that's why I couldn't claim her?!! Yeah, well that was in PA and turns out that was a complete lie. Please Help

It seems that your father did this intentionally. If this this is just a co-incidence then ask your father to remove her name from his papers. Or you must talk to your tax officer regarding this and see what he will suggest to you.
