After you file

There are only two of us filing married joint.  We did not receive any payments in 2021.  We received nothing and I already verified that when preparing my return.  I would have noticed that during the year anyway…

 

1400 x 2 = 2800 

 

so why else would they have reduced it unless they are considering one of us head of household or single and disallowing the other one based on the supposed bad dependent information?

 

does not make any sense.
