Stimulus question

I claimed my daughter as a dependant this year's taxes and she also filed her own taxes. On her tax form she did check the box about being claimed as a dependant. But she also filed Isher own taxes for the year 2018. Is she still eligible for the stimulus payment?

no, she is not

 

here are the qualification requirements from the IRS FAQ:

 

A1.  You may be eligible to receive a Payment if you:

  • Are a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;
  • Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return;
  • Have a Social Security number (SSN) that is valid for employment (valid SSN); and
    • Exception: If either spouse is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the taxable year, then only one spouse needs to have a valid SSN
  • Have adjusted gross income below an amount based on your filing status and the number of your qualifying children.
