I just got off of a call with an IRS representative. Their IRS worker ID is 307080. According to them, internal IRS documents state that "For the third Economic Impact Payment, the SSN does not need to be valid for employment."
I asked the representative to let upper management know of the confusion regarding this. They agreed that the current documents available to the public do not make it clear that the requirement has changed for the third EIP, and thus the Recovery Rebate Credit for 2021.
Turbotax, please confirm this information for yourselves and take this into consideration within the tax prep software.
