Thanks, @LenaH
My family did not qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit. He wants to file himself, not a dependent, so he can receive the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit being given out now.
You say "It is a problem if you do not claim him this year (for purposes of the Recovery Rebate Credit) and then decide to take him as a dependent in 2021" - we're not eligible for the 2020 RRC; if I claim him as a dependent for 2021 next year, what is the issue? That he received a 2021 RRC when I then later, claimed him as a dependent? Trying to understand. Thanks~
