Recovery Rebate Credit After Death (Possible ERROR)
I have a family member that passed on 04/15/2020 and received $112.50 from the Recovery Act Stimulus based on the family members 2019 income prior to death. I am attempting to complete the family members taxes for 2020 am having difficulty surrounding the Recovery Rebate in TurboTax. After entering the amount of Recovery Act stimulus of $112.50 into the software, TurboTax insists on adding the balance of Stimulus payment due, $1200 for the first round and $600 for the second round, to the family member in the form of a refund even though the family member exceeded the 2019 income threshold, passed on 04/15/2020, and is ineligible for additional payments from the end of 2020. It also appears Turbotax is using this years income even though the software is aware the taxpayer passed. Am I missing something or is this a programming error that needs to be addressed asap?
