After you file
If you filed a joint return and then look at the taxpayer and spouses separate accounts online at the IRS you will find the total stimulus split into two parts one for him and one for her. On the tax return when you file a joint return you had to enter the total amount you both received. If you had a qualifying dependent on the return and the stimulus for that person will also be split. So for a Married couple with one qualifying dependent under the age of 17 they would have gotten $1200 per person +500 for the child for the first stimulus for a total of $2900. On the IRS account the taxpayer and the spouse would have shown 1200 for each of them plus $250 each for 1/2 of the child. The same goes for the second stimulus of $600 per person on the return so in the online account the taxpayer and the spouse would each say $600 for themselves +300 for the child for a total of $900 per person or $1800 combined.
