Hi,
I received the stimulus check and I’m not sure if I was supposed to receive it. I am on F1. I filed a 1040 instead of a 1040NR (filed as a tax resident) because I have been on F1 visa since September 2012 (more than 5 years). Using the 5 year mark I should would qualify as a resident alien, however I'm not sure if there is a restriction on age.
I was in high school until 2016 (and under 18) and did not pay taxes for those first few years; I filed my taxes in 2017, 2018 and 2019 calendar years. Should I still be eligible for the check or should I return it/file 1040NR amendment?
