Question

My friend came to US 2015 and has been sponsored as a grad assistant since then. Is he considered as a resident alien to receive the stimulus package this year?

It depends.

 

If he has been filing tax returns for at least 2018 and 2019, he would be eligible. 

 

Please see the attached link to the IRS for more information on how the stimulus payments will be made.

@JotikaT2  Thank you so much! Yes, he has been filing tax for five years now.
