Thank you so much for your response. So just to clarify that I am following correctly... I claimed in 2019 and had already claimed at the time of the first stimulus check there for the additional $500 went to me. I have no way of knowing (without other parent telling me and we don't speak) if the other parent received the $500 with the first round because I have no idea it they had filed their 2019 taxes yet. So since they claimed our child in 2018 they could have also received the $500 back in April of 2020?
I was told the the other parent can file something when they do their 2020 taxes claiming that I falsely received the stimulus payments both times (even though according to the rules that the IRS set, I received what I should have). Since sending both to me was what was set by the IRS guidelines could the other parent still file something when they do their 2020 taxes so that they can still get the additional $600 for the last payment, or $500 from the first?
Sorry just trying to be informed since the other parent is demanding I hand over $500 immediately. There is little to no trust toward the other parent so I am making sure I protect myself.
