Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This does NOT address my issue and I can't be alone in this. I did not receive either stimulus check for my daughter claimed on my taxes for 2019 when it was my year to claim her. Although she lives with me, her father gets to claim her for 2020, so I cannot put her down as a dependent this year, therefore the rebate recovery worksheet doesn't calculate that I'm owed the money, but I am, since she was MY dependent when the stimulus checks were issues. I've asked two different accountants how to navigate this and both said they have no idea. Now the tax credit issue is going to allow her father to get that credit too, since it's his turn to claim her on his 2020 taxes. I lost out on both when I shouldn't have. I have $1100 coming and no way to claim it.
