Client claims her 40ish old sister as a dependent. Sister doesn’t work & is on LA Cares health program. Last April when we went to file my client’s tax return, we found out her sister filed a tax return for 2019 so she could receive her “free” money from the Govt. Sister did receive EIP 1 & 2. When I questioned my client if sister received her EIP3, she said no. I think the sister isn’t being truthful with my client. My client wants to claim sister as a dependent & HH for 2020, and probably 2021. BTW, my client made too much money for any EIPs. Is this going to be a problem? And if the sister received the EIP3, she would have to pay that $$ back, right?
