I'm reading that the stimulus check is based on dependent status for 2019, and all FAQ say that if you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return you will not receive a stimulus payment; however, what if you are not being claimed as a dependent for TY 2020?
Recent college graduate, claimed as dependent on parents' return in 2018 and will be claimed in 2019 when parents file as well. Started working in 2020 and will NOT be claimed as a dependent on parents' return in 2020.
Will they be eligible to claim the credit on their 2020 tax return and get the benefit when they file next year? Or is there a way for them get the stimulus payment now, without having filed a return previously? (Note that filing a 2019 return right now, they'd have to indicate that they are being claimed on parents' tax return for 2019).
