Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Q. Does that mean that my daughter who is no longer my dependent since August 2019 will not get the stimulus payment?
A. Actually, the answer is no. It only means she will be getting it later than everyone else.
"In essence, the stimulus check acts as an advance of her 2020 income tax refund. This means when she prepares her 2020 income tax return, there will be a line to include the section 6428 credit. The credit on her 2020 return is subtracted by any amount received as a stimulus check in 2020 (in her case, none). If the amount you received as a stimulus check is less than the credit you are due, the difference will be included as part of your 2020 refund. If you have been overpaid by receiving the stimulus check, however, you will not be required to return any excess amount".
BTW, the statement "she is no longer my dependent since August 2019" is technically incorrect. She is no longer your dependent since 1-1-20. There are no "part year dependents"
