Advanced CTC and MFS

Remington
Level 1

For 2020 clients filed jointly. Husband in military earned 45k W-2, spouse no income. Each received 1800 Adv Child Tax Credit (two children ages two and one).  For 2021, Husband in military earned 45k, spouse worked earned 8K. From history, planned on going jointly, but for "giggles" decided to run MFS. Husband received both children, spouse would not have to pay back the 1800 (do to income limits) and husband would receive the additional 1800. In a common sense world we know this would not be correct. However, based on the last two years and EIP1,2,3 issues and anything could be possible? Is this a software issue or could the couple file this MFS? Tried to research and finding vague answers. Thoughts?
