Joint return - spouse died 2/10/2020.  It is showing client should have received 2,400 and 1,200 for the stimulus payments in April 2020 and January 2021.  He got $1,200 later in the year for the first one.  If I put that into the software, it will show he is due another $1,200 which doesn't seem right.  She did have some income in 2020.

As long as someone is alive for 1 minute in 2020, they qualify for the credit.

anyone that was alive in 2020 was entitled to the full RRC...if they didnt get the full thing advanced during 2020, they pick up the remainder on the return.

And if they believed IRS when told they had to send the money back?  I'm waiting to hear experiences with that fiasco.
