Hi,
So I filed my 2020 tax return as Married filing jointly with my wife. Only I had an SSN then and she had an ITIN. When we received our 2020 return, only I got all three stimulus payments paid as recovery rebate ($1200 + $600 + $1400). However, my wife did apply for an SSN and got one by October 15 last year (Oct 15 was the extended deadline to file for 2020 returns). I have 2 questions:
1) Can we file an amended 2020 tax return claiming the first and second stimulus payments for my wife ($1200 + $600). Since my wife got her SSN before the extension deadline of Oct 15, will IRS pay my wife's share for the first and second stimuli?
2) Our household joint income increased to more than $150,000 in 2021. So is it even possible to claim my wife's portion of the third stimulus payment ($1400) as part of our 2021 return that we are about to file?
