Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here is the plan:

•I  send in an EXTENSION with the full payment that would cover the taxes as if they were paid the EIPs. 

(Wouldn't the payment be applied to the account, as all extension payments are?)

•Then I will send in the tax forms, on which I will state that they are due the EIPs.

•The IRS calculate whether they really got the EIPs or not. 

•If they did NOT get the EIPs, as I suspect, I hope they will be sent the EIP as a credit. 

•If they DID got the EIPs, then they are covered by the tax payment.

(And they must find the checks! If they lost their checks, I have to figure out how to get new ones issued. But it's unlikely they lost them.)

Does that sound like it will cover the problem?
