Hi!
Is this the case if I tick both boxes in TurboTax, the first being a) can be claimed, and b) won't be claimed?
I am trying to do my niece's taxes, but she lives with her great grandmother who has evidently not filed for years. The grandma only has Social Security for retirement income, so wasn't required to file, and it would take a herculean effort to get her to understand that this year she would need to in order t be able to claim the stimulus payment (EIP3), along with the American Opportunity education credit. My niece is a college student, only 20 so not emancipated, and I don't want to hurt her with her school financial aid, but I am also hoping to get the EIP3 for her via some sort of bypass to the usual dependent payment and education credit refund being paid out by the IRS as part of the legal guardian's household.
Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to help people here! It is greatly appreciated!
