2) Taxpayers are eligible to RECEIVE stimulus; dependents do not RECEIVE stimulus.  if the tool above states your daughter is NOT a dependent, then she is a taxpayer and entitled to the stimulus.  if the tool says she is a DEPENDENT, YOU are entitled to the stimulus. 

 

Can  we start there? please post back the result of the IRS tool; it'll make resolving any confusion and what you really need to do much, much easier.  You may be unintentionally complicating matter.
