Other financial discussions
My spouse and I both did married filing separately for 2018 as well as 2019. On my return I checked that no one can claim me as a dependent, I claimed 2 of our children and received a return. On my return somehow a box was checked that someone can claim my spouse. I did not and would not check this!!!! My spouse stated on his return that he cannot be claimed, he claimed our 19 year old college student and received a small return also. On his return somehow the box was checked saying someone can claim his spouse even though he did not and would not check that box!!!!! That box being checked on our returns rendered both of us ineligible to receive stimulus checks. No relief checks, not even the $500 per child. Super confused as to how those boxes got checked and why him having that checked on his return overrides what I stated on my personal return and vice versa! How the hell were we flagged as being dependents when we both claimed dependents!!! So damned angry, our family really needed that relief now being told you'll just have to wait until you file next year which defeats the whole purpose of issuing the payments! Turbotax kindly get rid of that box which I'm 100% positive, automatically populated!
