Married taxpayers with two dependents filed a joint return for 2020 tax year. They received EIP 3 for $5600.00 in March 2021. In May 2021 they got divorced. Spouse has custody of 2 children on 2021 tax return. Each taxpayer got letter from IRS saying that they got $2800.00 EIP 3.My question is when i put the $2800.00 on line13 of the recovery worksheet it’s giving taxpayer another $1400.00 because line 8 is $4200.00. Should she be getting another $1400.00?

But they did get the full amount in March 2021, sounds like double dipping to me. But i quess the government can just print money.

The parent that is not claiming any children on 2021 will possibly have to pay back their portion of the ACTC..depends on their income.
