Will I still be able to get a stimulus check if my parents listed me as a dependent but I had a job?

Question

And I filed my own tax return and got my own rebate. I was born before December 1990. My parents recently got their check for 1200 but no extra for having a kid. I think I know how this works but I just want to make sure from people who know more about how this works than I do. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If I calculate right you were 17 last year????   You need to get with your parents and have a discussion and/or you need to get pro answers.

okay about dependts:

about rebate check:

There are too many variables and not enough info

Answer 2

No, if you are their dependent you will not get a stimulus check.

If you wonder if that is fair to you, think about which you would rather have:  a measly $300-$600 from the government, or the financial support from your parents (which must be MUCH greater than $300 for you to be their dependent).

Answer 3

If you are still living with them I hope you made sure they did not claim you as a dependant.

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

No, dependents aren't eligible.
