After you file

Your wife's letter is not a duplicate. For a couple filing jointly, the IRS will report half of the total stimulus they paid to each spouse. So according to the IRS, you and your spouse have received a total of $2,800 in stimulus money.

 

If you did not report the $1,400 received for your wife on your tax return that you have filed, then the Recovery rebate credit has been overstated by $1,400. The IRS will correct your return, adjust your refund but this will cause a delay in your refund.

 

Please read this IRS FAQ, question H3 for more information.
