If a filing is made under joint basis, but one of the taxpayers has passed during the year, and indeed prior to the issuance of the first stimulus payment, how are payments to be treated. Consider, first payment was made to each filer. Second payment made solely to surviving filer. TT asks about this and when amount entered for second payment is limited to surviving filer, a further tax credit is added to amount due/refund. What should I do, if anything, to handle these situations? I gather that the first payment will likely stand as is. As to the second payment, it's unclear what the treatment will be, but curious as to why TT doesn't recognize date of death preceding window during which second payment was to be made. Presumably if the credit is given and is disallowed, the IRS will notify of an adjustment to the filing?
