Ask Terry Questions Stimulus checks

Stimulus checks

By Terry Savage on March 23, 2021 | Wild Card

This is my third year filing taxes. If my parents claimed me as a dependent for 2019 will I be able get any of the money we didn’t receive for the first and second stimulus checks on my 2020 return?

Terry Says

You need to file your own 2020 return asap — and not that you cannot be claimed as a dependent on any other return. And be sure to remind your parents not to take you on THEIR 2020 return. Then claim both payments on Line 30, if you meet the 2020 income requirements. Details in this article.
