Ask Terry Questions Stimulus check

Stimulus check

By Terry Savage on April 30, 2020 | Wild Card

Hello Terry
My adult daughter and my granddaughter live with me.
Last two years 2018 & 2019 I claimed my daughter on my taxes.
Now she can’t receive the stimulus check in 2020.

Can you help ?

Terry Says

I wish I could, but those are the rules. Any adult over 17 who is claimed as a dependent on another person’s return is not eligible for a stimulus payment. But who claimed your granddaughter? If she is 16 or under, and you claimed her, you should get a $500 check for her.
And if no one claimed her and she is 16 or under, you could register her here:
