To qualify for head of household, you must have paid the majority of the bills for the year. This tells me you were not living together for over 6 months. Otherwise, you could not both file as HOH.
After you enter your tax information and are ready for the Federal Review, stimulus will be the first question.
- If you are trying to trigger it:
- go to Other Situations
- click Done.
- The next question will ask about payments received.
- It asks Did you get a stimulus payment? Select Yes.
- Boxes appear and you enter your half of the stimulus payments.
- Click continue.
- Your refund amount will change by any missed amount of stimulus.
- Continue and the next page says Great news! You qualify for the stimulus credit and shows any missing amount. That is the Rebate Recovery Credit.
The program will determine any missing amount and add it to your refund.
