My wife and I combined homes with three of her children and two of mine. We filed MFJ in 2020. The IRS sent Advanced Child Tax Credit checks made out to both of us.
We now live apart, her with her three children and me with my two. We split the Advanced Child Tax Credit checks proportionally. We qualify and want to file as Heads of Households.
Turbo Tax instructs, "Enter the total amount of your advance payments. Avoid significant delays with the IRS by entering the exact total amount."
So, should we enter the split amounts? Or does one of us enter the whole (exact) amount and the other enter zero?
