Will people that filed their taxes for the first time in 2020 receive a stimulus check?

Yes, you may qualify to receive a stimulus payment even if your 2019 tax return that was filed in 2020 was your first tax return. There is no IRS rule stating that first-time filers are not eligible to receive a stimulus payment. Please view this IRS link and use the Get Your Payment application, available mid-April, to check the status of your stimulus payment and update your direct deposit information if necessary.

I have a simular question to the one above. I claimed my 18 year old last year as a dependent and received the stimulus for myself and dependent $500. He's claiming himself this year. Turbo tax is asking if he received the stimulus. When he puts no, It kicks in the recovery rebate of $1800. Is he entitled to the recovery rebate?
