Deductions & credits
So there is a minimum age to get a stimulus check based on their age in 2019? I did not know that. Since he was 18 by the time the stimulus check was announced I thought he would qualify as long as he was not claimed as a dependent in 2019. So you are saying based on the below, that I should go ahead and claim him as a dependent on 2019 tax return because he wouldn't qualify for the stimulus check anyway because he was 17 in 2019. Please confirm. As more info, I, unfortunately, do NOT qualify for the stimulus check based on income. Thank you.
I realize he "can" be claimed as a dependent in 2019 but if he could get $1200 by me not claiming him, that would be a better return than whatever child tax credit I receive.
