Take this short quiz, Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?
You received the $4,200 based on 2019 return. This does not require you to claim him.
If he claims himself, he would be eligible for the missed stimulus.
Hi Amy,
To be clear he made less than $4200 dollars, ($3680). At age 26 with his salary, do I have to claim him by IRS rules.It would benefit to claim himself if allowed.
You do not have to claim him. But if you (or someone else) qualifies to claim him, he has to indicate that on his return. You can amend your return (after it is processed) and remove him. But he will still need to file by mail if he claims himself since you have already filed with his SSN on your return.
To figure out if someone can claim him, see below - if anyone can answer YES to all the qualifiers below, he would indicate he can be claimed. If not, he can indicate that he can't be claimed.
Qualifying relative
Hi,
I read your response if someone can claim him as a dependent. I just realized that he had $987 in interest income (untaxed), in addition to his W2 wages of $3675. Total income of $4662. Would that interest income be used to push him over the $4300 limit, so him can claim himself?
Yes, he can file and clam himself for the stimulus.
I forgot to give you this, IRS Worksheet for Determining Support.
No. Tax exempt interest does not count for the gross taxable income test.
as a practical matter, if you are not listed on another taxpayer's return as a dependent, you are not a dependent.
