I was an adult dependent for 2019 resulting in my dad not receiving the dependent stimulus money for me. However, I was independent in 2020. Although I don't have to file taxes since I don't earn much(college student) I still plan on doing so. In 2020, my income was less than $1,200. If I include the money my dad gave me which is $1,500, my income would still be only about $2,600 if it is to be considered a part of my income. Even if I were to count $2,600 as my income for 2020, it would still be less than my income for 2019. Knowing this information, will I be able to receive the previous stimulus payments now that I am independent? The only reason I did not receive those 2 stimulus payments in 2020 was because I was a dependent in 2019. However, I was independent in 2020 which was when they were given out. Will I be able to receive the $1,800 from those two stimulus payments? I really need the money(college student here). Please let me know if you have any more questions.
