The father claimed the daughter in 2020 for 2021 he is not but he got the $1400 for her

so when I file her return for this year 2021 should I show that she got it?

As far as I know it is based on the 2021 law, so no she did not get it in advance as a EIP3. Therefore you would mark zero on the 2021 worksheet that asks if she got it, and then she should receive it with the return. I believe the IRS said that it would Implement rules to stop double dipping, but as far as I know that did not happen. There are other posts on this so, please read it. This is just my opinion.

You enter on the fathers return the amount he received. You enter on the daughters return the amount she received. Yes, you will have taxpayers that received the EIP that now, based on 2021 information, do not qualify for what they received in advance - it is what it is.

"it is what it is"

And it is really stupid. The last two years of playing games with stimulus payments and now with child credits is frustrating to say the least. If the government is just going to piss money away, they could at least make it entertaining for the rest of us to watch. How about announcing each day that at such and such a time, they are going to drive 6 dump trucks loaded with hundred dollar bills down the freeway and drop their load at random spots on the freeway. At least you could have fun watching the local news every night while folks are chasing after the trucks to grab as many bills as they can. Maybe to make it more interesting, they could drop the cash from helicopters, just to get the cash to blow around a little more.🚁

@dkh @IRonMaN Reminds me of something that happened several years ago. I do not use one of those automated teller machines or whatever you guys call it, so if I need cash, I just write a check payable to myself and cash it. Well I went through the drive-thru to cash my check for $200. When the teller gave me back my envelope, I noticed it was quite thick. So I fanned the bills in it, and I saw hundreds and fifties. I hit the buzzer a few times and the teller finally responded, since they were quite busy. I asked her if I gave her a check for $200 to cash. And she said yes and that is what she gave me!!!! I said that is funny, because I think you gave me $2,000. Needless to say, she was quite happy that I gave her back the $2,000, but I noticed she wasn't employed there much longer after that, so apparently she wasn't the shiniest star in the sky.... Just my opinion.

I would have done the same thing but a lot of people would have burned rubber getting out of there with their bonus cash.
