Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The question on your return is "Can you be claimed as a dependent?"  Below are the criteria for a qualifying child and a qualifying relative.  If you fail at least rule in each set then you "Cannot be claimed as a dependent."  

If you file a 2020 tax return as a US citizen with a valid social security number, made less than $75,000 and no one "can" claim you on their 2020 tax return then you are eligible for the full amount of stimulus for rounds one and two (1200 and 600).  If you did not receive any of those payments they will be added to your 2020 tax return as a Recovery Rebate Credit.  

Here is a link with more information on the Recovery Rebate Credit.

If your parents claimed you on their 2019 return they most likely received the third round of stimulus for you (1400) based on that return.
