You cannot find out anything to do with another person's tax return due to the privacy laws. If you file your own tax return and claim yourself and then another person also claims you as a dependent on their return both persons will receive a letter from the IRS requiring you to prove you had a right to do so. The IRS will determine who had the right to claim you and the other person will have to repay the taxes plus penalties and interest. If you think someone may have claimed you without a right to do so I would recommend that you contact the IRS and report this to them even if you are not required to file for the year in question. If would help if you have the other persons name and social security number but it is not required. The phone number for the IRS is 1-800-829-1040.
no, once you claim someone you cannot be claimed yourself
no
I was on assistance and my mother claim my kids on her taxes until they were old enough to work themselves. I just found out about it. Is there anything I could do about it?
If they aren't a qualified child or a qualified relative, as defined, you can't claim them.
If you have paid for more than half of their support and they do not claim themselves on their taxes, I believe you can claim them as long as you have documentation to prove it.
You should report having a dependant in the home.

Unless you are providing more than half of a person's support, you can not claim them on your taxes. If a person is surviving on public assistance, and supporting themselves from that they can not be claimed on taxes.
