My mother died on August 23, 2020. She did receive the first stimulus check in April of 2020. I am preparing her taxes on TurboTax Deluxe and the program gives her credit for the $600 stimulus payment that went out in January 2021 because her bank account did not receive that payment. Since she died in 2020, I do not think she is entitled to the credit but the software will not let me by-pass the credit. Is she entitled to the $600 credit on her final return?

Yes, she is eligible for the EIP2 issued in early 2021. Someone who passed away during calendar year 2020 is eligible for both EIP1 and EIP2.
Thank you!
