If you filed a joint return then each of you should have received letter 6419 because the IRS sent letters to each parent, putting half the total amount on each of your letters. You were supposed to enter the total amount the two of you received between July and December. If you are not sure how much you received then check your bank records for deposits of $300 per month for each child who was under the age of 6, or $250 per month for each child age 6 to 17. Or check your online IRS accounts for EACH of you to see what the IRS shows they sent to you.
