My wife and I filed joint in 2019 and got the $2900 stimulus check (1kid, 2 new ones that werent on last years taxes) as expected. This year we are filing separate, and I am claiming the 3 kids, for student loan purposes. When asked what stimulus payment each of us received should we split the amount between the returns, both report the full amount, or one of us report the full amount? My thought is that both reporting the full amount will show overpayment and keep us from getting the 2 new kids amounts.
