I got married in 2020. I did not receive a full stimulus check but my wife did. Together, we receive full. Do I qualify for recovery rebate credit?

2020 stimulus checks were based off of 2019 taxes. But since I got married in 2020, do I now qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit to claim max? I make more than my wife, but together, we qualify for a max stimulus check.

When you complete the recovery rebate credit you have to enter the amounts you each already received---no matter whether you received those amounts in 2020 or early 2021. The rebate credit is based on your 2020 income and eligibility but you do not get to double dip if you received some of it already.
