Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you could be claimed as someone else's dependent  (mom's) then you should not have received a stimulus check.  

 

Sounds like you plunged into it without understanding.  You cannot e-file now, and if your mother wants to file a tax return that claims you--she will not be able to e-file.  She will have to print, sign and mail her own return.  

 

We do not have your facts -- so we do not know if you can be claimed or not.  Do you meet the criteria to be a qualifying child or qualifying relative?

 

WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

 

You can claim a child, relative, friend, fiance (etc.) as a dependent on your 2019 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

• They are related to you.

• They cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.

• They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or   Mexican resident.

• They are not filing a joint return with their spouse.

• They are under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).

    • No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children

        They live with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).

Qualifying relative

• They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).

• They cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.

• They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.

• They are not filing a joint return with their spouse.

They lived with you the entire year.

• They made less than $4200  (not counting Social Security)

• You provided more than half of their financial support. More info

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them.
