I filed MFJ in 2020 and we received CTC payments for 3 children, one child was my husbands from a previous relationship and one child was mine from a previous relationship and the third child that was biologically both of ours. I am filing MFS for 2021 and I received Letter 6419 stating we received the amount for all 3 children (which is the correct amount). However, my question is do I report the full amount that is stated on the Letter or just the portion allocated for the two children I am claiming on my 2021 tax return? I don't want to be paying back his child's CTC payments since my soon-to-be ex-husband will more than likely claiming his son on his tax return.
