Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your dependent was 17 as of December 31, 2020, she does not qualify for a stimulus payment.   You can claim any stimulus payments you did not get when you file your 2020, but your 17-year-old dependent will not qualify.   She can qualify you for the Head of Household status if applicable, and the Earned Income Credit, and the Other Dependent credit of $500, but not the Child Tax Credit or stimulus payments.   

 

She can file a tax return to get her withholdings back from her part-time job - just make sure she indicates that she can be claimed on another tax return.   @dvanderhart
