Question

My son graduated from High School this year. he is 18 1/2 yrs old. Our tax rebate does not include him . Why ?

Answer 1

He is no longer a student, and he is 18 years old.  He is considered an adult now.  He should be filing his own taxes and getting his own rebates.

Answer 2

it should if you claimed him as a dependent!!!! that just sounds wrong.

Answer 3

If you are in the US and not in the UK where you posted:  the stimulus payment only gives extra for dependent children if they are under age 17.  That's how the law was written.
