What should I do, if I'm going through a divorce and my soon to be ex-husband, kept my stimulus checks???

The process to retrieve your stimulus checks requires initiating a payment trace. 

The IRS provides the following directions (for more information, see the link below): 

• Call 800-919-9835
• Mail or fax a completed Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund PDF. Addresses for where to send Form 3911 are at the link below. It is based on the state of residency.

This process will reverse the payment deposited in the wrong account and send the payment to you. 

For more information, see: Economic Impact Payment Information Center — Topic F: Payment Issued but Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Not Received | Internal Revenue Service

• If the check was cashed, the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service  will send you a claim package that includes a copy of the cashed check. Follow the instructions. The Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service will review your claim and the signature on the canceled check before determining whether the payment can be reversed. If reversed, you will need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 return, if eligible.

Note: If you are filing your 2020 tax return before your trace is complete, do not include the payment amount on line 16 or 19 of the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet. You may receive a notice saying your Recovery Rebate Credit was changed, but an adjustment will be made after the trace is complete and it is determined your payment has not been cashed. You will not need to take any additional action to receive the credit.
