I filed my 2019 taxes jointly with my spouse and our total AGI was well below $150,000. I received a direct deposit of $1,200 but my spouse did not receive anything. I entered my spouse's information into the Get My Payment tool on the IRS website, but they didn't have any information for her. I should note that before we were married I filed 2018 taxes, and my spouse did not. How can we get the other $1,200?

Per the IRS:

If you did not receive the full amount to which you believe you are entitled, you will be able to claim the additional amount when you file your 2020 tax return. This is particularly important for individuals who may be entitled to the additional $500 per qualifying child dependent payments. For VA and SSI recipients who don’t have a filing requirement and have a child, they need to use the Non-Filer tool (link) on IRS.gov by May 5 in order to have the $500 added automatically to their $1,200 Economic Impact payment. We encourage people to review our “How do I calculate my EIP Payment” question and answer (See question 11).
