I have a couple clients that have a ITIN. They are not residence, they just have the ITIN. Do they qualify for the EIP? One customer has a Father that is elderly and a Resident, can he apply for the EIP?

No, people with ITINs do not qualify for the EIP or the Recovery Rebate on the tax return.

You asked two different questions: "Do they qualify for the EIP? One customer has a Father that is elderly and a Resident, can he apply for the EIP?"

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.

One for each EIP.

You already asked this type of topic. Are you not reading the links for resources given to you to learn from?

It's the same thing. You need to learn the eligibility per those IRS links.
