I was just going to ask about this. I am entering my younger son's and daughter's 1099Qs for 2019 taxes and I had to check my daughter's 1099Q from 2018. I opened up 2018 turbotax as a quick way to check and to my surprise my older son was listed as the recipient for my daughter. I went back to where I had entered the information for the 1099Q and it asked who was the recipient - I could choose between my daughter and younger son. My older son not even listed because he was not a dependent so I could not have selected him by accident. I had selected my daughter and went through entering her information. Now I see that the 2018 taxes were filed with my older son marked as the recipient and as a dependent on the 1099Q. The beneficiary was listed as my daughter.
My son did not receive his covid 19 stimulus payment and we do not know why. My fear is somehow him being marked as a dependent on this form caused this. He is not listed as a dependent on our 2018 1040 as he had graduated and was working full time.
So - I guess I need to amend my 2018 return. What did you do when you found this?
I am very frustrated with this. I do not go through and thoroughly read every form that turbotax creates from my entries. I guess I should.
