So taxes have already been filed and the refund has already hit the bank account. Hoping I can find out a way to see who got what amount to the return. Getting a divorce and just want the fair amount to be figured out based off each of our contributions.

When you file a joint return, all of your income is combined; all of your credits and deductions are combined, and the refund comes with both names on it. A joint return does not break down the refund by who earned how much or by how much of the refund is attributed to whom. Your own W-2's or 1099's show your individual incomes. So perhaps you and your attorneys can do some math to calculate the amount that is attributable to each of you.
