Stimulus for taxpayers with SS labeled valid with DHS work authorization only

[Jul21720]

I just want to confirm that taxpayers with SS labeled "Valid with DHS work authorization only" (meaning that they are not green card holders but they are actually US residents), and the DHS authorization is valid, they are entitled to the stimulus payment; same is true for spouses filing jointly with one spouse holding a valid SSN with DHS authorization and the other an ITIN, it is my understanding that only one of them get the stimulus, Pro Series allocates stimulus to one of them only when I complete the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet, please confirm or advise 

Thanks

Go to the IRS for your answer.

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 as individual filers. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent."
