Stimulus overpayment

[Sarai M]

So they went off of my 2019 tax return where I had myself and two dependents
Even though 2020 was filed and accepted 2/13
With 1 dependent
My oldest son filed for himself this year he received his refund and his stimulus since they went off my 2019 they sent me an extra 1,400

I have been hearing mixed comments that I don’t have to repay even though it was totally their fault.
Others say you only have to return when a person is deceased does anybody have any input on this situation there’s numerous people that are in the same situation as me that got extra

They overpaid my son on the first 2 stimulus payments and everything I read said repayment was only required if the party was deceased.

*And my 2019 ago was used in my 2020 taxes. 2019 I filed HOH and 2020 married jointly…my bank account above where the 3 stimulus is supposed to be sent to is the bank account I used on my 2020 taxes…still pending on both!

We are getting an extra 1,400 for me. Since they are going off of our 2019 TR, my husband filed HOH and 2020 we got married. I get two separate amounts for me. From my understanding, no money is owed back to the IRS bc it’s not our fault the returns were not processed promptly with our current situations known to them.

I read you do not Need to return it

Why is my stuff not posting?

I’ve heard the same that as long as you are filing an accurate income refund and it’s not because someone deceased, it is yours to keep. I’m in the same boat.
