Ok, now really confused. I have always used turbo tax but was curious what info I would get from another site. I contacted Taxslayer with same question and it seems they are providing me the complete opposite advice. My dependent was not a dependent in 2019 or 2020 but was in 2021 after injury and loss of income. She received the 3rd round stimulus check for $1400. I have pretty simple taxes but seem to get contradicting info on this matter and don't want any IRS issues as I am on limited income so I am trying to do this correctly. Therefore what is best solution for me, See taxslayer advice below:
Thanks to all for the help.

| "Thank you for contacting our support team. |
Thank you for your email request. You would need to enter the total amount received between you and the dependent you will be claiming this year. Since you both received the full amounts, you are not eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit in the amount of $1400. If this credit is claimed and you do not qualify, it would cause delays in the processing of your refund by the IRS as they will have to manually adjust your refund amount." |
