This is incorrect: "for software to not include first stimulus for which client was a dependent"

Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:

The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.

If the person is not a dependent in 2020, then they would be entitled to the payment/credit. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent."

If they did not get it they can get it when they file as long as they are not a dependent of anyone in 2020.

I am comfortable with client getting second stimulus via tax return based on 2020 filing status

 

for software to not include first stimulus for which client was a dependent...should I acknowledge it as received on worksheet/

On the dependents return you do not acknowledge it was received because it wasn't.

thank you...however by not acknowledging in worksheet the software includes the 2019 $1200   with the 2020 return which is not accurate as the client was ineligible for first stimulus payment

Why do you think they weren't eligible for the first one of 1,200?

I have the same situation, and entered -1 in both Pmt 1 and 2 slots. But the RRC isn't showing up on the tax return - it's coming up zero even though it should be $1800. Not sure if I missed checking a box somewhere or something. Any guidance?

I'm using ProConnect, and I followed the instructions for how to enter the non-received payments. Not sure what's glitching. I deleted and re-entered a few times. Ran diagnostic and got no pings.

"I'm using ProConnect"

You're in the wrong forum, then. You posted in ProSeries.
