Thanks for the update. You are absolutely right, you compound is terephthalaldehyde. Because all four hydrogens on the benzene ring are equivalent there should be only one singlet with intensity 4. Both aldehyde groups are equivalent too, so, singlet with intensity 2. In the C-NMR there are three signals (ones at 77 ppm are due to a solvent CDCl3): one for both aldehydes, one for two carbons in the ring that connected to the aldehydes and one for other four equivalent carbons.
