After you file

Hi,

My Wife an I filed, Married Filing Separately in 2018 and 2019.

On my 2018 and 2019 returns under Standard Deduction; "Someone can claim your spouse as a dependant" was checked off for some reason, I didn't do it.

As a consequence I am not going to receive a stimulus check.

FYI: She received her individual $1,200 check months ago.

IRS says I can claim the stimulus on my 2020 return, could have used the cash now.

Any idea why this would happen?

Thank you,

Mike
