Not so much offended as wanting to set the record straight. When I researched "amended returns" I found quite a few exchanges from 2020 that discussed amending returns to change dependent status so as to qualify for stimulus payouts. Never intended it to be read as me or my daughter being party to that action. Now I know that the child has to answer the dependency question truthfully. However in my case my daughter has never filed. Hypothetically if I amended my return to disclaim her then she would likley need to file a late return just so she could check that box showing she could be claimed as a depended. Now I will just wait for the loan forgiveness legislation to further develop.
