Hello I have a question. I plan to file taxes hrough turbotax again this year, only I have a few questions. My daughter used to be a dependant of me but now that she makes her own money this years taxes i no longer can claim her. I got a stimulus for her last year based off my 2020 tax return. When I file a tax return for us, do I still claim she received a stimulus in her own taxes as well or do I only claim on my taxes that I got it?

Before the discussion about stimulus money to you or your daughter----provide some details. You say she "makes her own money"----but you have not told us how old she is or whether she was a full-time student in 2021. Can you tell us about that?

She was not a full time student this past year, she ended up getting a job of her own and now makes more than I do myself. She made less than 2500 in 2020, now she has nearly 10x that this past year. So I am now filing separate tax return for herself and not claiming her as well as she is now 24 as well.

You got the stimulus payment. Your daughter didn't get it. On your own tax return you tell TurboTax how much you received. On your daughter's tax return she tells TurboTax that she did not receive a stimulus payment, because she didn't. Since you cannot claim her as a dependent for 2021, she will get a Recovery Rebate Credit on her 2021 tax return, even though you got a payment for her as a dependent. That's okay.
