Graduated College Student (May, 1 2020), Still job seeking – Stimulus rebate?
I have a 23 year old son who is still job seeking in his field. He did not earn enough last year to file income tax for 2020. Should I file for him anyway? (He is still listed as my dependent on my 2020 taxes).
Will he qualify for any Stimulus checks?
Love listening to you won WGN. I refer people to your website all the time.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

NO NO NO!!! Do NOT file your 2020 tax erturn with him as a dependent. that would cost him both the first $1200 check and the current $600!! If he can demonstrate he earned any money he should file his own return and claim the stimulus on Line 30. But he can not do that if he is a dependent on your 2020 return!
