The recommended alternative if you did not receive Letter 6419 and you need to file your tax return, you can use the online CTC portals to check your information. Alternatively, you can get in touch with the IRS via mail or phone, with the latter being quicker and the number is: 800-829-1040.
If you are unable to confirm the amount you received under the above method, another alternative would be to add up the amounts that were either directly deposited in your bank account or the checks you received from the IRS. Use this number and indicate the number of children. Since the IRS sent two letters out one to the husband and one to the wife and each letter contained 1/2 of the amount paid, I would split whatever you did receive by 2 and put half in the box for the taxpayer and half in the box for the spouse. The number of children would be the same for both.
