Filling out a tax return for a deceased individual that died before first stimulus arrived. Turbotax says eligible for both, but I don't believe that's correct?

Under the current IRS guidelines, a deceased taxpayer may still get a stimulus credit on their 2020 tax returns if they died after January 1, 2020.  Here is the latest information.  See the question "Will a deceased individual receive the payment?"

 

You would indicate if the taxpayer received any stimulus payments and if so, how much when completing the return.
