After you file

Thank you @JohnB5677 for the information.  We had the exact same scenario as @Smedley except on 2018 taxes and neither our daughter or we have filed yet for 2019.  She was not claimed as a dependent on our 2018 taxes when filed and cannot be for 2018 based on the rules as I understand them. 

 

She went ahead and filed an amendment for 2018 but it looks like it won't be processed now for awhile.  Will the IRS still be processing stimulus payments after this first "go-round"?  When she files the 2019 return I think she will go back to a dependent status because she's a full time student.  If the 2019 return is processed before the amended 2018 return, will she still be eligible for the $1200 stimulus as an actual payment or credit for 2020?
