Tax Year Prior to 2020: Am I eligible for stimulus package check from IRS?

[Poaks51]

I read that I'm eligible and my grandson is who I claim since his moth, my daughter, has been unable to work last 6 years but is still awaiting to get disability approval from Social Security. I don't feel dhe should be punished because she is limbo between no longer able to work, so I claim her since I help her out, and not yet on official disability through Social Security. That seems highly unfair to her.

This FAQ site should answer your question.

I am in the same boat as your daughter, I filed 2018 and 2019 tax returns with turbotax direct deposit and I did my 2019 the end of January and I know I am eligible because i made less than 11,000 and i have a 3 year old as my dependent and it is now April 29th and i still haven't received my payment and the irs website has said payment status not available. I need this money to survive, to feed my son and I lost my job because of this virus going around and I dont know what to do. And there is no one to help me or answer any questions.

Sad part everyone is asking questions yet nobody is answering us. I starting to believe turbo tax is a scam....

[Britt 25]

Ya I dont know what to think at this point...all I know is it's pretty crappy that I haven't got my payment and I'm struggling so bad because of  something that isnt even my fault....this shouldn't be happening because I used turbotax.  I CANNOT SURVIVE OR FEED MY SON WITHOUT THIS STIMULUS!!!! This is so not ok.....

Will I get a stimulus check

[curtinhouse]

I claim my 20 year old son who is a student on my taxes as a dependent, he also files. Does anyone receive a check for him?

Someone being claimed as a dependent is not eligible for a stimulus payment.

If you have a dependent child over the age of 16 in 2019 you would not receive the $500 stimulus payment for a dependent child.

Unfortunately, no.  For this initial economic impact payment dependents are not eligible and only children age 16 and younger entitle their parents to additional payment.  

@curtinhouse

As frustrating as it is to wait, the only source for information about the status of payment is the IRS website.   Economic impact payments are still being distributed and it is not known how order of distribution is being determined.  The tool continues to be updated and checking daily is the only solution available at this time.  If you filed your tax return with direct deposit for your refund, the IRS has the information needed for payment and with any luck, yours will arrive soon.
