Stimulus and 401k on a deceased persons tax return.

I am doing my mother taxes who died on July 26 2020. She did get the first stimulus check but passed away before the second . When I enter the amounts received it says she gets a $600 credit. Is this right?

Also on one of the 401k's she didn't have beneficiaries listed so we had to take taxes out and put it in the estate account. It first was done at the end of January. Do I add that to her taxes this year some how or file a claim for her next year too?

    For deceased individuals see the second question under Eligibility.  If they died in 2020 they still get it.
