If your spouse received a stimulus check for a child she is not claiming for 2021 she does not have to pay it back. But she did receive $1400 for claiming a child. When she enters her 2021 information then she cannot get another $1400 even if the child she is claiming now is a different child.
When you say your wife received the stimulus, etc.....are you not filing a joint return? Why not?
