Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Aclimitless When you prepare your tax return for 2020, any stimulus that you are entitled to will be added to your refund. If your mother received any payments because she claimed your son as her dependent on a previous year tax return that will not affect your refund and she won't need to pay any of that money back.

 

When you prepare your tax return for 2020 in TurboTax, you will be prompted to enter how much you received for your stimulus and then the program will calculate the amount of stimulus due you based on your income, number of dependents and payments already received. If any additional stimulus is due you, it will be used to reduce your 2020 income tax liability, and the balance will be refunded to you.

 

You will see the options when you are done entering your tax information and proceed to the review process.

 

You can file a tax return in 2020 to get your stimulus check, even if you aren't required to otherwise.
