Deductions & credits

This is my situation, too.  MFJ with 2019 AGI under threshold, never received either of the $1200 stimulus checks, DID receive the 2 @ $600 within a week or 2 of law passage.  Had to search for Recov Rebate Cr form, had to override everything and the form still has an un-deletable Note at the Bottom referring to our 2020 AGI (to high to qualify).  Overriding seems to work, but shouldn't need to.  I didn't use TurboTax in 2019 (used Drake), and spent literally over an hour with TT Support whose only ultimate advice was to wait until 2/12, when the "final" Turbotax update will come out and this should be fixed.  The $1200/2400 payments in the Spring of 202 are based on 2019 income, NOT 2020.  There is debate about what the payments of $600 are based on, and some reporting that if your 2020 income is disqualifying but 2019 was not, you should delay filing.  Right now, wondering if I should have stuck with Drake.
