Because of their income, poster & spouse got something less than the $1800 each (poster states "something like $1,800" total). I believe he is correct, he would indicate that he got half of that total (about $900) on his MFS return.
@olso4051 said "I guess I just wanted to see if it came out as a wash or if there is a benefit to filing separately this year."
The only way to know for sure is to prepare tax returns both ways and compare. My gut feeling is you'll come out better foregoing the stimulus and filing a joint return.
