Recovery Rebate

[Piebald]

I claimed my son on my 2019 taxes as he was unemployed and a fulltime college student.  I did receive a partial stimulus payment in the first round and nothing in the second.  He is employed and is filing his tax return does he put how much I received for the first stimulus payment or does he report that he did not receive one.  As for the second one I do understand that this amount would be equal to a credit as neither myself or him received it.

You cannot get stimulus money for a child older than 16,  And your son was a dependent so he does not get a stimulus check---stimulus checks are not sent to dependents,

You can get a stimulus check for yourself only----if you did not receive the first one or the second one,   Your son is not eligible for either stimulus check.

Your son would not report how much stimulus you received.  If he was not a dependent in 2020, he will file his own tax return and will receive the Recovery Rebate Credit.  If eligible, you will receive the second stimulus as a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return.
