Katie-
I have a kind of 'tricky/unique' situation I was hoping for some guidance with. I share custody of my son and his mom and I alternate years for claiming him. I claimed him in 2018, but filed my taxes 'on time' for 2019 last month, so that's what information the IRS/govt has and have already received my Fed refund via direct deposit.
She will claim him for 2019, but makes too much money to be eligible for the stimulus check for herself or our son. If I would have just 'waited' a couple of weeks, they would be using my 2018 return (on which I claimed him), instead of my 2019, on which I do not claim him.
Do I have any options/recourse to make sure that at least one of us gets stimulus 'credit/$500' for our son? I'm struggling to come up with a reasonable solution.
Thanks,
Anthony
