Dependents and stimulus
Hello there! So I always file married but filling separate. My husband has one of the kids as dependent and I have one as well. That is, in my paystub I have one dependent only. It has been like this for the past 10 years or so. Now, when I filled taxes for 2020 , I decided to put both of my children when I filled taxes. I noticed how I only received the stimulus check for one child. Actually recently, even the top up payment was only for one child it seems (was $500). So what is happening, why they are not giving me the assistance for my two children. Do you think this has something to do with the fact that I just started to put the second child (he’s 14 years old). Is the IRS using my 2019 and/or previous years to calculate my stimulus checks and/or assistance? What should I do? Thanks in advance!!!
