Dependents are not eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit, even if they file their own income tax return.
You are not eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit if any of the following applies:
- You may be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s 2020 return (for example, a child or student who may be claimed on a parent’s return or a dependent parent who may be claimed on an adult child’s return).
- You do not have a Social Security number that is valid for employment issued before the due date of your 2020 tax return (including extensions). Some exceptions apply for those who file married filing jointly where only one spouse must have a valid Social Security number to claim RRC.
- You are a nonresident alien.
Your daughter will not receive her third stimulus. You will. There is no age limit for a third stimulus dependent so it will be sent to you.
It sounds as if you received the correct stimulus amount for EIP1 and EIP 2. Dependents under age 17 at the end of 2020 were eligible for the $500 and $600 payments, so you would not have received a payment for your daughter if she was 18.
