What can I do if my spouse took my 3rd stimulus payment?

File a “superseding tax return” before May 18, 2021.

You can get your share of the 3rd stimulus payment if:

• You already filed your 2020 tax returns jointly with your spouse, and
• your spouse took all the stimulus money.

File a “superseding tax return” as

• “married filing separately,” or
• “head of household.”

The Internal Revenue Service should:

• deposit your 3^rd stimulus check in the bank account you put on your “superseding tax return,” or
• mail you a check at the address you put in your “superseding tax return.”

You may be able to get help to file a “superseding tax return” from a Taxpayer Clinic.  They give free tax help to people who:

• have a low-incomes, or
• speak English as a second language.
