You will be audited and have your taxes adjusted for your error or fraudulent tax return. You will have to repay the amount of the difference plus a possible 50% fraud penalty and interest on the amount owed. I suggest that you amend the return before the IRS finds your error and you will probably not have to pay the fraud penalty. The key is whether or not you lived with them and supported them during the tax year not the year that you file the taxes. As long as the lived with you for more than six months during the tax year you could legally claim them. This is a matter that is easily discovered by the IRS.
