Someone claimed my child on their taxes and I am not sure who. How long once I refile and investigation begins will it take for me to get refund as long as I am still eligible?

It does not count who is paying child support. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Child of separated or divorced parents (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/child-of-separated-or-divorced-parents.html) ebaines Mar 5, 2009, 06:25 AM Only custodial parent can claim the child. It does not count who is paying child support. The non-custodial parent can claim the child if either: (a) the non-custodial parent attaches form 8332 to his return - this form must be be agreed to and signed by the custodial parent, or (b) the non-custodial parent attaches certain pages from a court decree stating that he has the right to claim the child.
