I received $1,200 for the first stylus and $600 on the second stimulus because my husband passed away before the second stimulus payment was received.  I am doing my taxes using turbotax and when I entered the amount on Turbotax, Its showing that I will get a Recovery Rebate Credit for $600, but I should not get this credit.  how can I fix this issue?

    Yes, you are entitled to the credit.  

     

    Recovery rebate credits may be claimed for individuals who died in 2020 or 2021 when filing the decedent’s 2020 tax return. This includes someone who filed joint tax returns with a spouse who died in 2020 or 2021. Please refer to the Form 1040 and 1040-SR instructions for more information.
