The credit is based on the information in the 2020 return and will calculate based on the taxpayer being alive. First, I am sorry for your loss; our prayers to you and your family.
Be sure in the Personal Info Section that you have checked the box indicating your aunt passed away before filing the return. You will get a pop up box asking for the date of death. Once you get to the Federal Review after that update, you would put in the $1200 for the first payment and leave the second box empty. A credit will appear, but the IRS will review the returns before sending out refunds on these credits.
