Soon you and your wife will each receive a Letter 6419 from the IRS showing the amount of advance payments that you received. On your tax return you enter the amount shown on your own Letter 6419. Your wife will enter the amount shown on her Letter 6419. The total of the two letters will be the total amount that you received.
If the results on your tax returns do not come out to what you and your wife consider a fair allocation, one of you can pay the other to settle up between you.
