I have a widow client that her husband died January 20,2020. She did receive the first 1200 for him. She returned the amount per directions. She then received a letter stating she had not paid it back. We did a letter showing the cancelled check. Letter then cleared it. Prepared her taxes, showing she is due the stimulus amount for her deceased husband for 2020. Guess what! The amount of stimulus was held and she received a letter stating he was not eligible for the payment. I want to do another letter and lead the IRS down the path again to her rightful refund. But at this point she doesn't want to deal with anything more. So her choice, I will do what the client wants in this case. But I just get a headache trying to see that everything is done correctly and still it doesn't work like it is suppose to!  Rant over!
