1st year not a dependent? Most likely you don't qualify for the check. If you are not in school and age 19 and over, neither your parents or you will get anything. The Bill has language in it that indicates that you have to be over age 24 in order to qualify for the funds. The IRS standards for who qualifies are based on laws regarding student loan qualification and not common sense. Sorry. My daughter missed out even though she is now out of an income and still has a car payment and other expenses of a 20 year old.
