Thank you so much for the reply! I'm embarrssed to say that, after double checking, I actually did get the combined amount listed between the two letters as advanced payments. So it looks like, for people who are Married Filing Jointly, the total amount given in advance is divided and sent out as two letters, one to each spouse. When you enter the amount from each letter it adds up to the full amount given in advance. Thank you again for your answer and I apologize I had the wrong info to start with.
Have a great night,
Andrew
