Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My husband died in May of 2018.  I did speak with an IRS representative and he said that the first stimulus check for everyone in the amount of $1200 was for the year 2018 and since my husband was alive for part of the year that this money was good to keep.  The $600 stimulus check was for the year 2019.  I'm still skeptical and will call tomorrow to speak with another IRS rep to make sure this is accurate.  Otherwise, I will be putting this $1,200 in my savings and wait to find out if they come back to my in a few years wanting it back.  I don't trust the government.  Thank you for your help in this matter.  If I find out that this information is accurate, I will definitely reply back to Turbotax so if this happens to anyone else, you will have the answer.
