Stimulus #3
On my 2019 tax return, I filed as head of house with an minor who turned 18 during 2019. For 2020, I am filing as single so they could qualify for the first 2 stimulus checks. They filed days before the 3rd round was approved and I’m still working on mine. I just received 2800 in my checking account. Will they also receive the 3rd check and will the government ask for 1400 to be returned?

Well, they started out sending the $1400 based on 1019 returns — so the $2800 includes your daughter’s $1400 stimulus
BUT, let her file on her own for 2020 since she is independent and she can claim the first two checks ( $1200 and $500) as a refundable credit on her own 2020 return on Line 30. Read this article.
