Q: oregon - i am poor. where can i file a formal complaint about a Judge that made an unfair decision against me?
this judge made crazy unfair decision against me and any normal person would be blown away at the judge's decision. There was a typo or Xspouse snuck in decree he gets 2015 exemptions for kids when I had the kids entire 2015. I took 2015 anyways on my taxes. Stupid Judge found me in contempt. IRS says no way irs would give X the exemptions anyways so I took it on my taxes. i told stupid judge i tried to stop the decree with typo to go through but Xspouse ignored me and sent it in and prior judge signed it making decree official.
A:
Actually, there is a form you can sign that will give your spouse the dependency exemption for any given year, if other requirements are met. (There is also a form that does a complete transfer of all future exemptions so be careful you don't sign that one.) Normally the IRS rule is that the parent with the most overnights gets the tax deduction but the form overrides that rule. So if you just asked the IRS whether you were entitled to the deduction versus your ex, the IRS agent would have said yes based on the overnights. But you didn't ask about the form that lets you assign the deduction. Read this: https://www.eitc.irs.gov/Tax-Preparer-Toolkit/faqs/divorced also this:
