I'm an adult and I was listed as a dependent of my parents all the way up to 2018.
In 2019 I started working and was not a dependent anymore, however I have not made enough to be required to file for 2019 taxes.
Even thought my parents make less than $12,000 and are not required to file, they still filed for 2018 with me as a dependant.
In 2019 they decided to not file since they are below the required income to file.
How can I make sure that I get my full $1,200 stimulus cheque, since the IRS doesn't know I am independent yet?
Should my parents and I file now, separately, for 2019? Or should we separately fill in the "non-filers form" in the IRS website before the May 5 deadline?
