Because that is how the law says it is to be handled?
Because of what §6428A(e) says about the coordination of Recovery Rebate Credit and Advance Refund (aka EIP).

Stop pulling my leg. I can't think straight, that's why i rely on what the letter says. 😅
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.

One for each EIP.
Thanks much appreciated
EIP received in Feb. 2021 Is it to be included in 2020 tax return
