Why didn't I recieve a stimulus check for my 18 year old son?

[fstasser]

I claimed him in 2019. Neither of us received a stimulus check for him either time.

A dependent child age 17 or older is not eligible for a stimulus payment.

Sorry, dependents have to be under 17 to get the Stimulus Check.

[fstasser]

Then shouldn't he have gotten the check himself?

[VolvoGirl]

Not if he qualified to be someone's dependent.  Sorry.

Thank you.
