I filed my fed return with zero income as a requirement to receive rental/owner rebate in Maine. I am married with two daughters 19 and 21. I have two issues the first being,
2018 I filed without claiming my youngest as she moved out for the year and claimed herself. She is back home with a new baby (10/1) and I claimed her. She hasn't filed 2019. Would she receive the stimulus check based off her 2018 filing or did my claiming her nullify that? It seems it would be in her interest for me to amend and remove her as dependant and she file and claim herself and the baby, or can she claim the stimulus in the next tax year coming up?
The second issues is daughter number2 should not have been claimed as a dependent either but TurboTax I think sets college kids as dependent by default? I filed her return and mine believing she was no longer my dependent but this week I looked and sure enough she is filed as dependent. Should I just amend my return and drop both girls off? I file zero and received no refund from federal, I did receive a rebate from Maine and I think I got an extra 25-50 total from the girls so I don't know how that would work (I assume I'd need to amend state as well? Or can the girls claim this stimulus in the next tax year?
