Well, if is going to be WORTH the trouble ($$), I would file via paperwork. I had the same problem with one of my foster kids years ago. The IRS sent me a questionnaire, and is a long and extensive list of things you have to have receipts for. They also requested a letter from DCFS stating when FC was placed in my home, of course CW and supervisor didn't want to do that, because they said he was not my dependent, (I wasn't calling them for tax consultation), anyways, I ended up faxing the IRS the initial placement agreement paperwork. I did finally get my full refund, as FC qualified me as head of household.
