Stimulus check

When i did my tax return for 2019 half of the year i was claimed as a dependent by my dad but from june to december (and now) ive been in the military. Will this affect my eligibility for the stimulus check?

The rule is that anyone that was claimed on a 2019 (or 2018 return if a 2019 return was not filed), is not eligible for the stimulus check. Since your Dad claimed you, then you are considered a dependent.

If I am not wrong, the stimulus check is an advance on a 2020 tax rebate.

If you are a dependent in 2019 and independent in 2020, will you be able to receive the amount of the stimulus check when you file you're 2020 taxes as a tax refund?

Thanks.
