My sons received stimulus checks. does that make me ineligible for claiming them as dependants. i supported them for more then half the year and they made less then 4000.

    It is the other way around ... if they qualify as your dependents, they may not qualify for the stimulus checks.

     

    However, were they your dependents in 2018?  If not, that may have qualified them.  Or did they apply for the stimulus payment at the non-filer website?
