I found this section to be very confusing. My husband I filed married jointly and each received letters saying we received $2100 so initially I thought I should enter $2100, the amount for one of us because if I added them together, it gave us $4200 and that was over the $2800 amount it said we should have received for married jointly. As I thought about it some more, I am thinking they must have added the child credit we received for one dependent onto our totals, and gave each of us half. ($1400 for one child, divided into half, which is $700 - and then added that onto each of our totals - the reason for $2100 each) So we did receive the full amount!
I am glad I caught this, as I was going file saying we only received $2100 and then we would have probably had to do an amendment. Can anyone confirm this? It sounds like this question is going to be a problem for numerous filers if Turbotax doesn't clarify it in easier to understand terms.
