Third stimulus amount - filing jointly

If this is the first year we are filing jointly due to getting married in April 2021 and we both got the $2,800 stimulus for us and our dependents claimed on the tax returns used, do we combine the totals or only put down the $2,800 because that's what we both got?

If you are filing a joint tax return, you would enter the total stimulus payment you received -  what you received plus what your spouse received.
