You are correct, in that you should not enter twice the amount of the Advanced Child Tax Credit that you and your spouse received.  It is not clear why the IRS apparently sent each of you what appears to be an identical letter.  However, your perspective is correct.  Just enter the actual amount of the Advanced Child Credit that you received.
