    Stimulus payments

    I'm sure this subject has been beat into the ground on this board. I apologize for the redundancy.
    My very elderly retired customers (MFJ) had an AGI of $213,958 in 2019 and $156,054 for 2020
    Their average AGI usually runs about $ 225K or so .
    No $2,400 stimulus payment was received by them, but he said they did receive a direct deposit of $ 7 in August.
    None of the subsequent $1,200 was received by them.
    When I go through my software's rebate screen for 2020, it wants to give them a $2,987 credit on their 1040.
    I gather that this is because their 2020 AGI had fallen to be within the credit phase-out limits.
    I guess my comment is addressed more to the fairness of the credit & how it is being applied to our populace.
    But maybe I'm also simply not understanding how this works & somebody out there can straighten me out.
    These good people have a substantial income, and they also have a huge amount of wealth - yet they still appear to
    qualify to get this economic "rescue" payment ? Am I missing something ? Thanks for comments.

        RWG1950 - Like all tax issues don't try to think about fairness or whether it is appropriate for your client to get the RRC. Congress had to find a quick and dirty way of getting cash quickly to the populace. In doing that some people like your client benefit.
