After you file

Yes.

When you prepare your 2020 tax return there is an opportunity to claim the Stimulus1 and Stimulus 2 payments using the Recovery Rebate Credit.  Stimulus 3 should be based on this return.

 

There are benefits to filing and claiming yourself on the return, because you can now claim benefits that your parents claimed for you.  If you are a college student you will need to file that to get an Education Credit.  If you need additional help once you start your return, please contact us again.  Congratulations on being Independent!!
