It sounds like neither you or your son have been required to file a state or Federal tax return for 2018 or 2019. In the eyes of the IRS your son is not a dependent if he is not claimed as a dependent on a Federal tax return.
You will receive a stimulus check if you:
- Have a Social Security number.
- Have filed taxes in 2018 or 2019, or don't earn enough to file but receive Social Security payments.
- Earned less than $99,000 for single filers, $136,500 for heads of household, or $198,000 for married filers according to the most recent tax return filed.
- Are not claimed by someone else as a dependent.
