I have a similar problem BUT, here is what I have figured out. I filed jointly in 2020 for 2019, but because my spouse had died, I had to submit a paper return. It was mailed on 04/15/2020, and finally processed in late August of 2020. I did not get the first stimulus payment, for which I was eligible at the time, but I did get the second payment for $600. I contacted my US Senator and was told I would be eligible for a credit on my 2020 taxes. Subsequently, I got a W-2 from the IRS for interest owed on the stimulus payment. The Rebate Recovery worksheet would not allow me to enter any information and, at the bottom of the form, it indicated that based on my AGI, I was not eligible. Therein lies the problem. Whereas I was eligible in 2020, based on 2019 income, the Rebate Recovery is based on 2020 income. So according to the IRS, and I looked it up, I am no longer eligible. So why should I have to claim the W-2 as income on a payment that I will never receive?
