corona virus stimulus payment

[Sameh]

I was trying to file my taxes for 2019 with zero balance in order to apply for corona virus stimulus payment all that  before turbo tax allowed me to mention that i am not meeting the minimum requirements to submit taxes for 2019 ,now when i try to use this porter that exempt me from filing 2019 taxes i get this message "Hi Sameh, we've sent your info to the IRS to process your stimulus payment" ,however my filing was not complete as i have to complete the process  via Mail.

Now they don't have my bank info ,my question should i make a new account to use the 2019 exemption porter ?or should i delete my existing account and start new one with different email?

please i need advice

These links may help explain and guide you through the process.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/stimulus-check/ link to stimulus registration (SR).  It is very important that you uses this link that says register now if you don't need to file taxes this year.  Otherwise, you will not be able to E-file a zero return. It also has the calculator.

The IRS says it is working on developing a web-based system for people to give the government their direct-deposit information. Keep checking www.irs.gov/coronavirus for more details on this.

My father apparently claimed me as a dependent for 2019 But he kicked me out in march before my 18th birthday. Not to mention didnt spend anything because I had a job. I'm now 19 living on my own and cannot go to work because of covid-19. I need this stimulus check bad. What do I do?

File your 2019 tax return if you want to be eligible for the stimulus payment.

I already filed for 2019

I meant he claimed me as a dependent for 2019, Not 2018. I was not enrolled in school but I had 2 jobs and was working.

If you were 19 in 2019 and had gross income of $4,200 or more and not a full time student then no one can claim you as a dependent.  If you filed your 2019 tax return as being a dependent, then you need to amend the return to change your dependency status.  If you filed the 2019 tax return as Not being a dependent and your return is being rejected, you will have to print and mail your tax return.

If you were not age 19 in 2019, then your parent could claim you as a dependent if you lived in their home for over one-half the year and you did Not provide over one-half of your own support.  If this was not the case then you should have filed your 2019 tax return as Not being a dependent.

What was your status in 2019, was the return rejected?

[Abeare330]

I just turned 19 on the 30th. I was 17 for 3 months in 2018. When I lived there I was not a student and paid my expenses. I messed up my return and put can be claimed. Mine was not rejected as I filed my return before him. I called him yesterday and asked if he claimed me and he said yes and that he has gotten his return back already. Should I report it to the IRS? He uses TurboTax also if that helps.

The 2018 tax return is not relevant.

If you were age 19 on or before 12/31/2019, not a full time student and had gross income of $4,200 or more then you should not have been claimed as a dependent on anyone's 2019 tax return.

Both you and your father need to amend the 2019 tax returns that were filed.

He has to remove you as his dependent on his 2019 amended tax return.  He will have to pay back any refund he received based on you being a dependent on his tax return.

You will need to change your dependency on your amended 2019 tax return.

An amended tax return, Form 1040X, can only be printed, signed, dated and mailed by you to the IRS, it cannot be e-filed. The IRS will take up to 4 months to process the amended tax return.

i have the same problem almost im 25 i checked the box saying someone could claim me but ive now realized i didnt qualify as a dependent i made over 4,500.I've already gotten my refund back. Nobody is going to claim me on their taxes my mom already filed so i dont qualify and nobody claimed me but i checked the box do you think im going to get the check???And also i downloaded my tax reiew on the standard deduction form(to fill out if someone can claim you as a dependent) it has a huge watermark saying "Do not file" so do you think my tax preparer put that there so that form wouldnt go through to irs? like they caught the error for me?

Hello, I see you know quite a bit about this and I need some help. 

I was 22 years old and was a full time student (not living at home) throughout 2019. I also made almost 8k last year and my mother (who claimed me as a dependent did not pay ANY bills for my school or housing). I put that someone could claim me as a dependent thinking that my father would but he did not. I know that I do not qualify as a dependent

I went to file an amendment and have started the process but at the end Turbo Tax keeps saying I need to upgrade to deluxe because I have a tuition and fees/deduction and "Turbo Tax free does not cover this." This has never popped up for me and I don't know what it's referring to and what I need to do to finish filing my amendment. Please help. I want my stimulus check and will report her if need be because I cannot qualify as a dependent.

You can contact the IRS to report the suspected tax fraud.  See the following link on instructions on how to report the questionable activity. 

Reporting Tax fraud to the IRS 

You can try to use the following link to register for the stimulus payment but you may get a rejection message if you were listed as a dependent on another tax return.

IRS Non-Filers Payment info portal

If that does not work, the only remedy you may have at this point is to file a tax return for 2020 even if you were not required to file.  You will be asked for the amount of the stimulus payment you received versus the amount you actually received.  If the amount received is lower than what you were entitled to, you will be given a credit on your 2020 tax return.
