My girlfriend has always claimed our two sons because she had made more than me, but this year I am claiming them since I worked and she was a stay at home mom. Since she claimed last year the children's stimulus money was in her name when it came to our joint bank account.
I am claiming them now but now when I enter my stimulus amount on TurboTax it thinks I did not receive our stimulus money for our children and added $2200 to my refund. I was on the phone with a TurboTax person and they stated they did not know what to do and contacted an additional person who did not know what to do either as they haven't run into this with anyone yet. Do we put it so it looks like I had the children on mine to avoid the extra $2200 coming to me? Will the IRS care if we switch the numbers around in that respect since we're not taking money that isn't ours?
