Ok, so the work around recommended by the IRS is to adjust the number of dependents you are multiplying by in the Recovery Rebate form. In my case this would be changing line 6 on the form from 1x500 to 2x500. However, turbotax software auto populates that amount and it is unable to change. So speaking with a turbo tax phone rep, we determined the way to work around the software is to adjust the amount received in your EIP by this amount (line 16 = actual amount received - 500). This works, it calculates the correct rebate amount as if I filled out the form the way the IRS suggested. It's not going to end here, realize the return will be flagged at some point when the numbers don't match, so document the workaround and fill out the worksheet to calculate the appropriate rebate and double check that matches the turbotax output, prepare a letter explaining the adjustment and why now while everything is fresh and store it somewhere safe :). Good luck to everyone else in this situation.
