Hi! If you received a paper check to the both of you I ended up calling the irs they had me get a letter from him stating (as well signed by a notary in his country) stating that he gave the IRS permission to reissue the check in my name only since he was in said foreign country. I did it sent it to the address they gave me and got the check in maybe 6 weeks. Ever since then I get it direct deposited even though he is not on the account and I’ve had no issues. So call the IRS and explain the situation and let them tell you what to do.
