This is good news.  I've read conflicting info on this.  Also, can anyone confirm whether they would be eligible for both the (EP1) $1,200 and the (EP2) $600?  Or would they only get the $500 for EP1 if they file a 2020 return and they are not someone's dependent?

2020 rules, so if they are not a dependent in 2020, the get the full amounts of both, if income is low enough, regardless of what their parents already got for them.

Question has been answered but the other twist is if a child was born on December 31, 2020, that child will get $500 and $600 stimulus on 2020 1040.  Of course that applies to any child under 17 that was not on your return for 2019 regardless if someone else claimed them.

I have a client who didn't work in 2019 and had three children. Her mother claimed her and the three children on her return. Grand mother got $1500 and $1800 in stimulus checks for the children.

In 2020 mother was no longer a dependent and made $24K.  She got $2700 for the first stimulus, $2400 for the second stimulus, plus $4,200 additional child tax credit and a few thousands for EIC, plus a couple of thousand that were withheld.  Nice check coming to her.

Amazing how all the sudden these dead beat kids of my clients are "miraculously" on their own and not a dependent anymore.

I am currently doing a training on PPP and if you think this is bad, many business did not need the PPP loan and they don't need to pay it back.

Could be a disabled over 16 child/adult, with the federal $500 credit (plus whatever the state offers, if any) as dependent is less than EIP 1, 2 and possibly 3.  Good tax planning and action if the TP's figure it out.

Sorry to be obtuse about this but this is the first credit I am doing and am a bit confused.

22 year old student was claimed by his parents in 2019  but not in 2020. He did not get either stimulus payment.  ( I don't believe he would be eligible for the first ) I believe he would be entitled for the second one but when I go through the worksheet it shows him getting $1,800 in Recovery Credit.

Am I correct that his credit should be $600.00?

Thanks very much
