She filed her own taxes back in 2020 for the 2019 tax returns, this year (the tax return for 2020 that I filed on 01/20/2021) was the first time I've ever claimed her since she was staying with us. She's received the first and second round of stimulus checks because of that, but I'm just concerned about whether or not I've messed up her chances to receive the third round that they're now talking about sending out.
I filed as Head of Household on my taxes this year like I do every year, because I have two children that I claim. I went through it and after adding her, I didn't even see a mention of receiving anything for her- Just the child tax credit for my two kids. I looked at the PDF version of it after I filed and it has my kids listed on the dependent part but it also has a check mark in the box next to my mother's name for "Other dependent credit" since I marked her as a relative.
I was so bothered by it after realizing that adult dependents haven't been able to receive the previous stimulus checks that I created another account on TurboTax just to go through and see what the difference in my refund was without her. It was only a $113.00 difference in my State Tax Return- It didn't change anything in my Federal at all. I wanted to do that so I would know how much of a difference it made when I do amend it to remove her.
Since it was showing that as the difference, does that mean that it'll be all I owe the IRS after amending my return? I'm honestly confused as to how it only took something from my state.
