Stimulus Payment For Deceased

My Father received the first stimulus payment as a debit card after he passed away in May 2020.  Per the IRS guidelines I returned the card to the IRS.  In starting his 2020 return with TurboTax, I get asked the question if he received a stimulus payment and when I answer no, TurboTax generates a Federal refund for the amount of the payment.  I entered that he was deceased and gave the date in his Personal Information.  Seems to me this is either an error or I am doing something wrong?

Stimulus Payment For Deceased

Same here. When I enter that he did not receive a second stimulus check..it adds it to his tax refund even though he passed in April 2020 and is not untitled to the second check.Is this a defect in Turbo Tax?

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