Stimulus Credit for Mixed Status Couple

My husband and I file married jointly. I am a US citizen and he is a non-resident with a SS for work purposes only. 

We did not get the first stimulus because of our mixed status but I qualify for the credit after the rules changed. He does not qualify and I don’t see any options to select his immigration status.  

When I select the option saying we did not get a stimulus, it defaults to $2400 for both of us. The only way to correct is to say we received $1200 already which is technically false. The same issue applies for the $600 which i did receive and there should be no other action but it tries to say we get another $600 when putting into turbo tax. 

If I say we already got 1200, does that actually get filed on the taxes? That seems to be the only way to get the correct amount but I don’t want to lie and get audited if that is actually reported.
