Are you saying that your spouse was claimed as a dependent on your 2020 Federal tax return? Or 2019 amended Federal tax return? Please clarify.
If you are referring to the 2020 Federal tax return, the spouse would not likely qualify as a qualifying child and a dependent must be a qualifying child to receive the stimulus payments.
IRS FAQ state:
Who is considered a qualifying child?
A qualifying child is a child who meets the following conditions:
- Relationship to the individual who’s eligible for the payment: The child is your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, grandchild, niece, or nephew).
- Child's age: The child was under age 17 on December 31, 2019.
- Dependent of the individual who's eligible for the payment: The child was claimed as your dependent on your 2019 tax return or in the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool.
- Child's citizenship: The child’s a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien.
- Child's residency: The child lived with you for more than half of 2019.
- Support for child: The child didn’t provide over half of their own support for 2019.
- Child's tax return: The child doesn’t file a joint return for the year (or files it only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid).
The payment will include $600 for each qualifying child listed on your 2019 tax return with a valid SSN or ATIN.
