If I graduated college in may 2021 while living with parents, worked in PR for 2 months and accepted a job/moved to the US in September 2021, can I receive the stimulus?

I turned 24 on July 2021 and parents received $1400 stimulus I believe. Can I also claim the American opportunity tax credit if parents never claimed it?

You are eligible to claim the third recovery rebate for 2021 if you are no longer a dependent. If your parents claimed you as a dependent on their 2020 return, they received the payment from the IRS. If they are not claiming you this year, and you are claiming yourself, you can claim the recovery rebate. 

 

You would answer no to the question about the third stimulus if you are not a dependent for 2021. You can claim yourself and take the credit since the payment did not go to you.
