Please claim your daughter as your dependent on your return if she does not supply more than half her own support and she is your dependent. 

 

You should get the Recovery Rebate Credit for the same amount as the Stimulus Payment you did not get for her.

 

The IRS was correct to not send you the stimulus because they were not sure how your daughter would be filing for 2021.

Since she is your dependent, you will get the credit.

 

The Third payment (and Recovery Rebate Credit) was expanded to include dependents over 17. 

 

According to the IRS:

  • Qualifying dependents expanded. Unlike the first two payments, the third payment was not restricted to children under 17. Eligible individuals received a payment based on all of their qualifying dependents claimed on their return, including older relatives like college students, adults with disabilities, parents and grandparents.
