The results of your 2021 tax return are based only on your situation for tax year 2021. If you cannot be claimed as a dependent for 2021 then you can get the 3rd EIP payment----even if your parents got it for claiming you for 2020. That is how Congress wrote the law. The 3rd EIP payments that went out last year were an advance on a credit you can get on a 2021 tax return.
