stimulus
Hello , my question for you is. My mom claimed my kids in 2018 and she got a stimulus for her and them. Now I filed 2019 taxes and I didn’t receive none of the stimulus payments. My question to you is since I claimed both if my missing stimulus will that affect my taxes?

Are you providing more than half the support for your children? then you are entitled to claim them on YOUR 2020 return. but that is the only way you can collect the stimulus. Read this article.
But if your mother is taking care of your kids, and that includes time as well as money spent, then maybe she deserves to get the stimulus payments for them?? If so, SHE should file her 2020 return, claiming them.
And whoever takes the kids as dependents should file electronically, putting in banking info for direct deposit.
