Hi,
I filed for my tax year 2019 jointly with my wife. In 2020 I went through divorce and still ongoing. As you know in late 2020, $600 stimulus checks were issued and because we closed our joint account the IRS send us a new check with 1200$ to our old address. My ex refused to give me half since we were legislating. After that I filled my tax return year-2020 as a single and stated there that I did not receive my 600$, of course I called the IRS and explained the situation and advised me to figure it out with ex-wife which was not possible to do. Anyway after filling for 2020 I received 2400$ stimulus checks as a direct deposit to my new account that I filed (as you know third round was issued early 2021) I tried to solve this with my ex-wife but didn’t work.
Now the 1200$ check did not check out because it needs our signatures on that one to deposit it.
My question how much the amount that I should report when I file this for 2021-tax return? Should I report that I received 2400$ or what
thanks
