Does the line 19 show what the EIP 2 stands for?

Am I to assume the EIP 2 on line 19 is referring to the Stimulus Check?

On line 19 of the Recovery Rebate credit worksheet, EIP2 stands for Economic Impact Payment 2 which is the second stimulus payment (which was sent out taxpayers in January 2021).

Our Aunt passed away in early August and did not receive the second stimulus check-  The turbo tax program is forcing me to identify that my aunt is entitled to the second stimulus check-  even though she is not entitled.  Please advise

 The IRS states that your aunt is eligible for the second stimulus payment.

 

Here is something from the IRS:

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