Question

Referencing the Advanced Child Tax Credit payments received, I filed jointly and received one monthly payment. How should this be reported as there are separate boxes?

I added the exact amounts on the IRS portal and in my bank records to come up with the amount received. However, both my and my wifes IRS accounts indicate we received the same amount. Who should it be reported under? Or, should it just be listed under one of us?

It needs to exactly match what is in the letter #6419 the IRS mails you. See Advance child tax credit payments letter can help - IRS.gov The total of the two letters should match the total received to your bank account.
