If I am 21 years old . I only made $620 as a non employee status on 1099 . Do I need to file taxes to receive the stimulus check and am I qualified for it ? Thank you.

Since you are self-employed and have income of $400 or more, you have to file a tax return.

Use the TurboTax Free File program if you are eligible - https://freefile.intuit.com/
If you are eligible you can use the TurboTax Free File Program which is free to file both a federal and state tax return. The Free File Program edition is a full featured personal tax program and on a separate website from the TurboTax online editions.

To qualify for free 2019 federal and state tax returns with the Free File Program, you'll need to meet at least one of these requirements:

• A maximum 2019 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $36,000; or
• You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
• You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2019 AGI of $69,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).

Thank you . I live with my mother who is is on social security. She didn't claim me in 2019 . Am I still eligible for the stimulus check ?

I lived with my mother who collected social security. She never claimed me as a dependent. Thank you .

If you were not claimed as a dependent on a 2019 tax return then you would be eligible for a stimulus payment.
