I'm so confused? My husband and I divorced in 2020. We were married for 15 years, we have two sons and agreed that we each would claim one on our tax returns. He claimed one as did I the other one, he passed in July 2021 sadly, he was still claiming or shall I say receiving the child tax credit for our other child which his mother emptied out his account and never reimbursed us the money for my other son. I am the custodial party he was a non-custodial party. I got CTC for one child in 2021, as for my other son I don't know what to do. They both lived with me that year however we agreed to each claim one on taxes just to be fair. I just filed my taxes yesterday and remembered that I was told to let someone know about my other son to get those lost CTC for my other son that my spouse claimed on his 2020 taxes on this year's 2022 return, I do know that he did receive the first CTC in July we talked about that the week before he passed away in July of 2021. Now I am not sure if I should amend my return that was just filed yesterday and complete form 8812 or wait, not sure how to receive those credits back or what exactly I should do. His mother closed his bank account and withdrew all the funds did not receive anything for one of my sons. Ughhh. HELP!!
