As a 18-year-old full time student, you can still be the dependent of your parents if you did not provide for more than half of your support with your income.

 

In this case, you are not eligible for the third stimulus.

 

However, if you provided more than half of your support, then you can file your return as a non-dependent and claim the third stimulus as the Recovery rebate credit.

 

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

 

  1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off 
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
  3. On the next page titled Did you [or your spouse] get a third stimulus payment?, answer Yes or No
  4. Follow the interview and answer all questions
  5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
  6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

Please read this TurboTax Help topic for more information on the third stimulus.
