My ex and I broke up just over a year ago. She insisted on claiming him last year, and since the breakup was fresh, I didn't have the energy to fight it. She told me then that I would be able to claim him this year instead.
I spoke with her last night, reminding her that I would be claiming him once I file my taxes. Long story short, she lost it, and said she would be claiming him no matter what. I'm working on taking her to court since she won't agree on a parenting plan, so nothing is in writing.
I provide for him financially and saved every receipt. I want to put the money into an account for my son to have when he's 18, while she will spend the money on herself. I plan to claim him regardless of her intentions, but I'm concerned she will receive her W2 before me and I will be SOL.
Can I file my taxes based off of last year's info and then file an amendment once I receive my W2 to claim him before she can? Does anyone have any other suggestions?
