Is it just me, or is anyone else getting tired of seeing stimulus payment questions?

It's not just you.
The more I know the more I don’t know.

Perhaps it would help to review what is really happening:
The funds were paid out as Advanced payment against a projection. The projection used 2018 or 2019 tax returns. But 2020 is the Actuals. You use the 2020 return to reconcile what a person is entitled to, against what they got.
If the person is not a dependent in 2020, then they would be entitled to the payment/credit as individual filers. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent."
You might want to bookmark these links and read the IRS guidance.

I have the reply as a single-click macro. I wish Intuit counted how many times I used it.
