The dependent's birth certificate, and if needed, the birth and marriage certificates of any individuals, including yourself, that prove the dependent is related to you.

At any time, contact us here at eFile or call the IRS support line at 1-800-829-1040 and inform them of the situation.

Make sure your dependent meets the IRS requirements. Generally, the IRS requires that the child is under the age of 19 (or under 24 if a full-time student), lives with you for more than half the year, and does not provide more than half of their own financial support.

A copy of your government issued marriage certificate or domestic partnership registration filed with the California Secretary of State or a comparable agency in another jurisdiction listing the dependent as your spouse or domestic partner.

The child must be: (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full- time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.

But, here's what you do: If someone else claimed your dependent child inappropriately, and if they file first, your return will be rejected if e-filed. You would then need to file a return on paper, claiming the child as appropriate. The IRS will process your return and send you your refund, in the normal time.

Generally, the IRS wants to see at least two documents from the year that the tax return is from, that cover a period of at least 6 months, and it wants those documents to have the child's name and the address where the child was living at that time.
