how do you determine Stimulus payment for married filing separately
My wife and I have been filing joint returns for years. Our 2018 & 2019 AGI were above the treshold so IRS gave us only a portion i.e $1663 for the first one and $784 for the second one total for both of us. In 2020 I was laid off and received severance plus unemployment benefits. If we file as joint, We will pay $8K+ in taxes. I was wondering if we file as married but separate, maybe the impact would be lesser meaning, with her results and mine, it would be lesser than 8K. I'm stumpped on how to enter first and second round amounts in Turbo tax. If I entered $1663 and $784. What will my wife enter when I start her return? TIA
