For 2019 tax year, my parents claimed me as a dependent, and I did not receive the first stimulus check. For 2020 tax year, I filed independently. I received the $1200 from the first stimulus through the Recovery Rebate Credit. I believe this is right based on my research. The stimulus checks sent out in 2020 were an advance on the 2020 tax return, so I should receive the stimulus as someone filing independently in 2020.
I also received the third stimulus check for $1400 soon after filing my return. My parents waited maybe a week longer to file their return. The IRS sent them an additional $1400 on their third stimulus check based on their 2019 tax return, where I was claimed as a dependent. What should we do at this point? Could this be resolved in their 2021 tax return?
