My 8yo son got a $1200 stimulus payment. It was deposited into my account, in his name--an error related to social security. Do I include that in the amount on my taxes?

The mistake only happened for the first round of stimulus payments. His father claimed him on 2019 taxes, so I didn't receive the $500 or $600 dependent stimulus for him-- I'm guessing his father did, but I'm not completely sure.

When it asks me how much I received for the first round, do I put the amount I got in my own name? Or do I also include the $1200 that was deposited separately two weeks later, in my son's name? I just want to do it correctly to avoid delays.
