Stimulus check for 18 year old
My high school daughter turned 18 in March. I was told she should file a 2019 return even though she didn’t earn $600 so she can be eligible for the stimulus. Or am I better off still claiming her?

You got good advice. Have her file her own return. With direct deposit info in case she gets a refund. That will get her her own $1200 check — whenever they arrive!
But if she is going to college, it might impact her financial aid eligibility if she is an ‘independent” adult. Just covering all the bases!
