How do I claim my additional Economic Impact Payment if I married after getting the first?

Question

I received the original EIP last spring, then later on in the year, I got married. Early in 2021, I received the $1,200 for the second EIP, but I want to claim the additional $1,200 now that I have a spouse. How do I do this?

If your spouse is eligible for the 2020 payment but did not receive it, he/she can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when filing federal taxes.
