Please provide some details about your child to us. How old is she? You say you did not get the CTC or stimulus for her. You could not get child tax credit or stimulus money for a child over the age of 16. But if she is still your dependent then dependents do NOT get stimulus money for themselves. Tell us more about her.
And....if she CAN be claimed then if she files her own tax return she has to say that she can be claimed. Does she fit the criteria to be your qualifying child or qualifying relative?
