We do married filing joint every year. I have SSN and my wife only have ITIN. So, in the past 5 years I used SSN and my wife used ITIN for the filing. We have two kids. In March 2020, we got our permanent resident status. Now my wife has SSN. This year both of us are filing using our SSN.
Based on the stimulus package requirement everyone must have SSN in the household to be entitled to receive the first stimulus. We received $0 for the first stimulus payment. The requirement that everyone in the household must have SSN was changed for the second stimulus. So, we received $1800 (instead of $2400 because my wife was using ITIN for the filing).
This brings up my question. How do we enter the amount of payment that we received in the stimulus section for this year return? If we put $0 for the first stimulus and $1800 for the second stimulus. It says that we have $4000 credit. Based on the requirement to receive stimulus payments, I do not think this is correct. Please advise.
Regards
