Am i a dependent?

Im wondering if i will get a stimulus check if im 19? . I was 19 at the end of the 2019 year, i currently do live with my parents but have a full time job and am NOT enrolled in any schooling i was enrolled in my senior year of H.S from JAN-JUNE 2019 and made a tad over 11,000 . I also did file my 2019 Tax Return with direct deposit attached on April 8th, my only concern is that my parents have yet to file taxes because they may owe money so the government will use their 2018 taxes, which i am a dependent on. Since its 2019 will i still be seen as a dependant?? 

 

Pleasse need answers thank you so much

Am i a dependent?

as your information, your parents cannot claim you as a dependent in 2019 as you are over 18, not a full-time college student and earned more than $4,200.

 

If you filed your 2019 tax return as a non-dependent, you will receive your stimulus payment of $1,200.

Am i a dependent?

Wrong ... the OP was a student in HS until June ... no where does it say it must be college ... just full time student.  So his parents had the right to claim him so he will not get a stimulus check. 

 

Who can I claim as my dependent?

You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2019 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

  • They are related to you.
  • They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
  • They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  • They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
  • They are under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students some part of 5 months of the year).
    • No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
  • They live with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
  • They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.

@MinhT1   Ummmm,  but he was a full time student Jan-June.  I don't think it just means college.  I think he can be a dependent in 2019.
