She remained a full time student in 2019 until she graduated in May 2019. As usual, she still qualifies as a dependent on a parent’s tax return. Can she qualify for a $1200 stimulus check, if her parents decide not to claim her as their&nbsp;dependent? If she had filed her return earlier this year with a dependent on someone else, but her parents had not yet filed it. Can she file amended return to change her status as not dependent on someone else.&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>-With a dependent 18 years old, full time student, had a job, AGI $7000. If &nbsp;the parents do not claim this child this year to let their child qualify for a $1200 check, then next year they claim this child back to their return.&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>-Is it legally to do that for both cases above?</DIV><DIV>Please advise! I look&nbsp;forward to hearing from you soon.&nbsp;</DIV> Wed, 08 Apr 2020 23:25:50 GMT tracyl20 2020-04-08T23:25:50Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/2019-tax-return/01/1427755#M518593 <DIV><DIV>Please help me with the issues below:</DIV></DIV><DIV>-If the parents has a 22 years&nbsp;old dependent, had a job with AGI $37788.
