Recovery Rebated Deceased Person

My father passed away Feb 2021 but Turbo Tax is giving him the third recovery rebate of $1400 issued in March.  Should I state that he received the rebate so that Turbo Tax doesn't add the rebate back in or is there a better way to override?

Yes, it is correct that even a deceased person may claim the recovery rebate on their tax return.

 

An individual who died in 2021 or in 2022 and did not receive the full amount of the third Economic Impact Payment may be eligible for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit if the individual met the eligibility requirements while alive.

An individual who died prior to January 1, 2021 does not qualify for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit.
