Stimulus payment

My parents claimed me on their taxes for 2018 and 2019.  I was a college student and had no income.  However, im about to file my 2020 by myself and the recovery rebate credit is being added on my return.  Am i eligible to claim this since my parents technically already got this for me?  I dont want to get in trouble but could use the extra money.  

Deductions & credits

Yes.  That seems to be a loophole.  They won't take it away from your parents either.

Deductions & credits

for your parents to get anything, you must have just turned 17 in the past year, or this year.

were you still a college student in 2020?
