I'm in a similar situation. My dad died in August. I've already settled his estate with the exception of filing his final tax return. I don't want to have to bother with the $600 tax credit. When TurboTax asks if he received the $600 stimulus check, I am marking "yes". This is not technically correct, as he did not receive the payment. But it avoids the credit and the additional hassle of having to file a paper return and the associated executor of estate paperwork. So it's a win in my opinion. Besides losing out on $600, is there any downside to what I'm planning to do? Thanks.
