I was divorced last year and my advanced child tax credit checks were made out to me and my former spouse since we filed jointly in 2020. I am unable to have her sign the check over to me so that it can be deposited into my account. She is not the biological parent and does not support the child. Should I go ahead and send the checks back to the IRS now as voided so that I can claim it when I file my taxes or should I hold onto them a little longer and send them back with my tax returns when I file?
