I am not eligible for the tax credit for my 2020 tax returns (filing now, 2021). But I was eligible based off my 2019 tax returns (filed 2020). I received the first stimulus payment, but not the 2nd. I called the bank that I used to have the checking account with and they verified IRS tried to send the 2nd payment, but since account was closed, sent it back to the IRS.
I did not list myself as a dependent. Just went thru it again, no stimulus questions pop up.
The stimulus payments were an advance tax credit from the 2020 federal tax return. If you are not eligible on the 2020 tax return then you cannot receive the 2nd stimulus as a tax credit.
