My child graduated from college last May. She moved out of our house into her apartment out of state when she started working at a full time job in August 2019. We claimed her as a dependent on our 2019 tax return since she lived with us for 7+ months last year and we were paying her college tuition, room and board, food, etc until she left us. I read that if a person was claimed as a dependent in 2019, they will not get the $1,200 stimulus payment. Does that mean that my daughter who is no longer my dependent since August 2019 will not get the stimulus payment? That does not seem fair. That would mean that most of the kids who graduated from college in May 2019 and started their career in the summer of 2019 and were claimed as dependent and are on their own now will not get the stimulus check. These kids are going to be the first one laid off by their employers.
