Just to be clear he did not work. No income by him.

As you claimed him as a dependent on your tax return, he is not eligible for the stimulus check.

I did file him under as a dependent. Will I receive the money for him and myself? I don’t believe I got any money for claiming him?

He’s not in school. He’s over 24 yrs old. Should he file with no income so he can receive it?

As a dependent on your tax return, you are getting a credit of $500 for him. But he is not eligible for the stimulus payment.

See you say I did but it doesn’t show me receiving anything for him. Did show amount for our son but no money amount at all for him

I did claim him but didn’t receive any money for him. Can he legally claim taxes with no income and receive one?

The Child Tax Credit offers up to $2,000 per qualifying dependent child 16 or younger at the end of the calendar year. There is a $500 nonrefundable credit for qualifying dependents other than children Nerdwallet.

  If you did not have a tax liability that year then you would not get a benefit for claiming him as a dependent . The credit can only take your tax to zero  not give you additional money.

Oh ok since I did claim him a dependent I won’t get 1,200 for him but only $500 even though he is an adult. I’ve already filed I’m not amending. I didn’t want to file for him if we could get in trouble for it. I was told if you made no income you could file with no income that way you receive the stimulus check? Is that correct? 

Are you sure I will receive $500 on his behalf bc it says dependents under 17. He is not under 17.

No, you do not receive $500 for your bf.  If you claim your child as a dependent on your tax return and the child is under the age of 17 then you would receive $500 for the child.

You receive $1,200 as the taxpayer.  Your bf does NOT receive any stimulus since he is a dependent.

Hello,

My son's name (age 16) shows up on the description of a $1200 stimulus deposit. ("IRS TREAS 310 TAX REF....<my son's name is here>"). Background:

- This deposit went into the account I share with my wife

- We did married but filing separately in 2019

- We each have one child listed on our separate 2019 tax forms 

- My son had a small part-time job and did his own taxes last year

Questions:

- Whose name is supposed to appear?

- Will each of us get a stimulus?

- Does he get a stimulus for his part-time job?

Thanks!
