The answer to how do I apply for my 18 yr old son to get the stimulus check, said if he was clained as a dependent then the parent will get $500 for him. When I filled out the questions to see how much I am getting for the stimulus check one if the questions said how many dependents under 18? And my son is 18 so I didn't count him and it didnt list the $500 for him. If he is 18 and is on my taxes as a dependent and did not work and is in college, will he count as a dependent and will I get 500 for him, even if he is 18 yrs old? Thank you
You only get the $500 for a dependent UNDER the age of 17. So you will not get the stimulus money for your 18 year old. At age 18, he
can
be claimed as a dependent, so he will not be receiving the stimulus money in his own name.Since you claimed your son as a dependent on your return, he is considered a dependent for Stimulus Payment purposes also. Your son can not file for his own Stimulus Payment since he was claimed as a dependent on your return. Here is a link for more information on the IRS Corona Virus Relief Payment
I filed my son as a dependent in 2019. He is 18 and still in high school. I did not receive a stimulus for him, because he did not qualify. He was too old (over 17) and was claimed as a dependent, so he couldn’t get one under his name. The same thing will apply for the next stimulus..
@Alexis17 Yes that is correct. You do not receive stimulus money for a child older than 16. And since he can be claimed as a dependent he cannot get it himself. That is the way the law was written.
My question is what if they weren't carried as a dependent because they worked and filed their own taxes are they not eligible for the stimulus check
I have the same question. What if my 18 year old son has a job and files his own 2019 tax return and I don't claim him as a dependent on my 2019 tax return? Will he qualify for a stimulus refund?
Is your 18 year old paying for over half his own support? Is he no longer a student? Just because he has a job and some money does not mean he cannot be claimed as your dependent--even though he wants to get stimulus money. Try the IRS interview to see if he CAN be claimed. If he CAN be claimed then he does not qualify to get stimulus $.
IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:
I apply for a stimulus check for me Nd my baby I’m going throw some head time rn I really don’t have no where to stay I Barley have food for myself I’m Caralee 30 weeks pregnant with a babyboy
The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check this year, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021—if you are eligible.It will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
If he is a full time student and somebody can claim him as a dependent then he does not qualify for the Stimulus payment.
If he does not qualify as a dependent and files his own return he can get it on his 2020 return.
I had open heart surgery and was unable to work the last 2 and a half years . I am disabled now . I have not received any of my stimulus check s please help me for I have no income now
Given that you state that you have not worked, might it be safe to assume that you did not file a 2019 tax return? If you did not file for 2019 - even with no income to report, the IRS had nothing to go by in order to determine your potential eligibility for a stimulus check. You could have requested one, but the final date for that was in November 2020. At this point, your best bet is to file a 2020 tax return - even though you did not receive any income, in order to request payment for this credit not received. However, if you are listed as a dependent of another on their tax return - due to your being disabled - then you would not receive the benefit personally, the individual who claims you as their dependent would receive extra for caring for you. If you are not claimed on someone else's return, then when you walk through the questionnaire, near the very end of the Federal questionnaire, it will ask you about stimulus payments and if you received any. Answer zero (using the number 0) at the first stimulus "field" as well as the second stimulus "field" and the system will show you that you are due $1800. I hope this covers it for you. Good luck in your recovery!!
My daughter haven’t received any stimulus out of the three sent out why
@Klondike22 You have not given us any information about your daughter---we cannot tell you if she is eligible to receive a stimulus check or not unless we know the pertinent facts. How old was she at the end of 2020? Did you claim her as a dependent? CAN she be claimed as someone else's dependent? Was she a full-time student in 2020? Did she file a 2020 tax return?
I don't see any other posts from you on this thread. How old is your daughter? Why should she get a stimulus? Did you get it for her for the third payment? Does your daughter file taxes? Support herself? Can you clarify why you think she should be getting them and if she did not qualify on her 2020 return?
How can I get started on signing my 18-year-old son that still lives in my home for a stimulus check
@Dominick1102 Dependents do not receive stimulus checks. At the age of 18, your son can still be claimed as your qualifying child dependent, so he is not eligible to receive a stimulus check. If you claim him as a dependent on your own 2020 return then YOU are the one who can receive the 3rd check for claiming a dependent. You cannot get the 1st or 2nd check for a child who was over the age of 16 at the end of 2020, but you can get the 3rd check for a dependent of any age.

If your son can be claimed as a dependent, even if you do not claim him, he is not eligible for the third stimulus payment on his tax return.
You would receive the third stimulus payment for him as a dependent on your 2020 tax return.
Go to this IRS website for the third stimulus information - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment
He is not eligible for the first and second stimulus payments since he is older than 16 in 2020.
