If they did not get it they can get it when they file as long as they are not a dependent of anyone in 2020.

I am comfortable with client getting second stimulus via tax return based on 2020 filing status
for software to not include first stimulus for which client was a dependent...should I acknowledge it as received on worksheet/

On the dependents return you do not acknowledge it was received because it wasn't.

thank you...however by not acknowledging in worksheet the software includes the 2019 $1200 with the 2020 return which is not accurate as the client was ineligible for first stimulus payment

This is incorrect: "for software to not include first stimulus for which client was a dependent"
Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:
The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.
If the person is not a dependent in 2020, then they would be entitled to the payment/credit. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent."

Why do you think they weren't eligible for the first one of 1,200?

I have the same situation, and entered -1 in both Pmt 1 and 2 slots. But the RRC isn't showing up on the tax return - it's coming up zero even though it should be $1800. Not sure if I missed checking a box somewhere or something. Any guidance?

I'm using ProConnect, and I followed the instructions for how to enter the non-received payments. Not sure what's glitching. I deleted and re-entered a few times. Ran diagnostic and got no pings.
