Get your taxes done using TurboTax

First, the rules for claiming a dependent are relevant. If your daughter pays more than half of her own support, then you will not be allowed to claim her.  This is not a choice or optional but rather a rule on who has the right to claim a dependent. If your daughter paid more than half of her own support, then you cannot claim her.  If she did not, then only you can claim her.

 

As stated by @DMarkM1, if your daughter files a return, she does not report any stimulus payments that you received. She did not receive any stimulus payments.  Since she did not receive any she will not report any stimulus payments on her return.

 

A dependent of another taxpayer is not allowed a stimulus payment. If you are eligible to claim your daughter as a dependent, then she will not be allowed the second stimulus.
