Get your taxes done using TurboTax
So heres a good one. I provide the majority of support for my unemployed stepdaughter who is over 21 and does not file a tax return and her 2 children. One child I did not claim on my 2019 return in order to avoid a war with tbe childs father which is a whole different story. In any case, I received my stimulus payment of 2900 since I am married, fell under the agi limit and got the credit for the one grandchild. The issue is that my adult step daughter apparently is ineligible for claiming her stimulus benefit directly because she was a dependent on my return however she was also ineligible on my return since she was over 21. This seems like a loophole in favor of the government and we as a family are collectively losing out on one of the 500 credits. Any thoughts?
