After you file

The IRS sent separate letters 6475  to each spouse even if you filed jointly last year.   For some people receiving $1400 per person is memorable enough that they do not have to dig, but apparently lots of people forgot.    You can check your own bank records for the $1400 deposits and/or check your online account with the IRS if you are not sure how much you received sometime from mid-March onward for the 3rd stimulus checks.   Entering the amount correctly is important or your refund will be delayed.  The IRS checks line 30 and if there is an amount there for a payment you already received, they reduce your refund.
