I have a client that claimed 2 dependents on their 2020 tax return and received $5600 in recovery rebate stimulus for those 2 dependents.  1 of the dependents aged off of the parents return for 2021, and the worksheet does not allow me to clarify this.  It is therefore showing that the client should have only gotten $4200 in stimulus and has thus resulted in a balance due on the client tax liability. Is there a way to fix this?  Do I have to include the aged-out child on their tax return?  Even though he really doesn't qualify as a dependent anymore due to age? When the IRS was issuing stimulus, did they take into account that the dependency status could change from 2020 to 2021 due to age? I don't want to impact the aged out child negatively on his tax return, but at the same time, he was a qualifying dependent when the stimulus was issued.
