First stimulus payment of 2020

By Terry Savage on March 14, 2021 | Wild Card

Hi Terry,

My son did not receive the first stimulus economic payment in early 2020 because I claimed him as a dependent on my 2018 taxes. I could no longer claim him on my 2019 taxes (that I filed in July of 2020). He did receive the second stimulus check of $600 in January 2021.

My question is should he qualify for the $1,200 Recovery Rebate credit when filing his 2020 taxes?
