I searched with the search button and browsed all the way back to January 1st and did not see the topic that was being discussed earlier.

Husband and Wife with 2 kids.  They received the full stimulus for both the first and the second stimulus for both the children.

Now, in filing 2020 tax return, if they file Married Filing Separate with one parent claiming both of the children what does each parent put down as money received for the children?  One half each or the one claiming the children claims the full stimulus for the 2 children?

When I read the information I can make an argument for both cases and I have not seen any guidance from the IRS.

Does anyone have any updates?

Thanks,

Dusty Ernie
