Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Actually learned that she won't get the $1,400, she'll actually qualify for the first two stimulus payments now (the $1,200 and the $600)--I looked and saw this on the "Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet" (IRS Form) .   This website, offers an explanation of what I was seeing:

Attention, Class of 2020: If your parents or someone else claimed you as a dependent in 2019 but they don’t in 2020, you could get an $1,800 credit — $1,200 from the first check and $600 from the second one — provided that you file a tax return.

Generally, you can be claimed as a dependent if you’re under 19, or you’re under 24 and a student, if your parents provide at least half of your support.
