My wife and have separated for over a year. She took the stimulus money for herself. I have not received any portion of it. My question is it that illegal not to share the stimulus money? By the way she did use TurboTax to file and I have yet to get any money for that either.

If you are both separated, perhaps you should be filing Married Filing Separately

or as Unmarried (Single or Head of Household if applicable) if you are legally Separated according to the laws of your resident state. 

Filing this way would insure that you each get your own refunds and/or stimulus payments. 

Even if you are not required to file, you might file for 2020 in order to get the Recovery Rebate Credit.
