what if mother got checks for 3 kids based on 2019 return but the grandma actually raised them all of 2021? Can grandma still get the credits even tho the mother initially got the payments?
Yes, if the children are being claimed as dependents on your 2021 tax return then you are eligible for the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit for each dependent on the 2021 tax return if you did not receive the 3rd stimulus payment for them in March - May 2021 timeframe.
