Tax Year Prior to 2020: What if my parents claimed me as a dependent in 2019 but I no longer live with them in 2020 can I still claim the stimulus check?

From what I know the 500$ for dependents claimed is only for kids 17 and under. So college students under 24 do not qualify for the dependent payment. If you did not claim your son on your taxes and he filed his own he would probably be getting the full 1200. I’m having the same dilemma. I’m 23 a full time student and I filed my own tax return for 2019. But my dad claimed me as well on his 2019 tax return so I’m assuming we both will not get a deposit for myself.

What if my parents claimed me this year but I also filed alone can I still claim the stimulus check

Because you claimed him. Dependents don’t get anything. 

[Teebee8]

No. Dependents don’t get anything.  Unless they’re 17 and under. Then they’ll get $500 from who claimed them.

When filing my taxes it asks can I be claimed as a dependent and then after it asks will I be claimed as I dependent and I put no, will I still qualify for the stimulus check because I was not claimed on someone else’s taxes?

I'm a 33 years old with 3 children i moved in with my mother in 2019 and was claimed as dependent on her income tax i'm now living on my own with kids in 2020. I filed my taxes in 2018 with my children as dependents. Will I qualify for the stimulus check. Im an adult so my mother will not receive compensation for me on her stimulus check and i now live alone with my children

The answer you may not like. Your Parents can claim you as a dependent only if you qualify as a dependent, and since they filed that way then they will receive a check reflecting that. Dependents add $500 dollars to them and it will be up to them if they give it to you. Your 2020 situation is for next year Tax filing. Please talk with your parents and if needed you both may need to file an amended return which will delay any payments.

Only 1 check will be issued per family, so if your parents claimed you as a dependent then they will receive the additional amount of $500 dollars. If they wish they can keep it or forward it on to you.

[LJVP]

If someone claimed you as a dependent then you must answer yes, otherwise a red flag goes up and the IRS will determine who is correct. You are either an Individual or a dependent in 2019. 2020 does NOT apply until next year. You can always file an amended return. Good luck.

[LJVP]

I am a non expert but I believe the IRS will send both you and your parents a letter. If you file as an individual you should receive a stimulus check but if your parents claimed you as a dependent then  you do not qualify to receive the stimulus. and your parents will not receive the $500 claiming you as a dependent. One of you need to file an amended return to correct this error.

We claimed our son in 2018, he was a full-time student.  In 2019, he was a student but paid his own expenses.  He is no longer in school and working now.  If he files his taxes before April 15th, will he still get a stimulus check or will the stimulus already be processed based on 2018 taxes?

What if my parents did not claim me as their dependent, but I unknowingly did put that someone else can claim me as a dependent (not knowing my parents did this) for my 2019 taxes. I have already filed and received refund.

Hi, 

I had just graduated from college in 2019 and entered the workforce right after; I entered that someone can claim me as a dependant. However, on my parent's return, I was NOT claimed as a dependant. Will I receive a stimulus check since I was never claimed?

I filed in 2019 as an independent but my parents claimed me in 2018 tax season and have not yet filed their 2019 taxes, will I still receive the stimulus check?
