There is no need to remove the credit. A person who died in 2020 can still claim the recovery rebate credit on his or her final tax return prepared by a surviving spouse or representative if the requirements listed below are satisfied.
Generally, you're eligible to claim the recovery rebate credit if, in 2020, you:
- Were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;
- Can't be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return; and
- Have a Social Security number valid for employment that's issued before the due date of your 2020 tax return (including extensions).
