in 2019 taxpayer was a dependent of parents return and received no rebate. In 2020 taxpayer filed as single with $30,000 income on her own return (1040). can taxpayer request the two economic payments on the 2020 tax return.
"In 2020 taxpayer filed as single with $30,000 income on her own return (1040). can taxpayer request the two economic payments on the 2020 tax return."
What about the question "could be claimed as a dependent by someone else?"
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."
