Here's my situation:
Daughter: filed in February and on her taxes noted that she could not be claimed as a dependent. However, this was wrong and the filing needs to be amended.
Mother: Filed late and return was rejected when she tried to claim daughter as dependent.
The goal here is to rightfully claim the daughter as a dependent so my thought is we will amend her filing to be claimed as a dependent and send both filings to the IRS.
The big question is the daughter received her stimulus money check and deposited it. If she is no longer independent from her mother will she have to pay the stimulus check back in full? I know her tax liability may change slightly but we are worried about having to pay back the stimulus and then it may just be worth not claiming her as a dependent and getting that credit for the mother.
