@marcisikoff - what is the real issue? for all 3 EIP's there was no requirement to send back fund if you got too much (in other words Line 30 can not be negative)
EIP 1 was $1200, EIP 2 was $600 and EIP 3 was $1400
so on the 2020 tax return, joint filing client benefit was $3600 LESS what they received in stuimulus payments for the 1st two stimulus payments
on the 2021 tax returnm joint filing client benefit was $2800 LESS what they received in stuimulus payments for the 3rd stimulus payments. What I have seen if for joint filers, they EACH received Letter 6475 indicating that they were sent $1400....and the taxpayer didn't realize they were to add the two letters together to determine how much they truly received.
on the 3rd stimulus, how much did your clients tell you they received? I wonder if they told you $1400 (and showed you the ONE 1444-C letter to prove it) and they really received $2800.
