Can a 19year old who was claimed as a dependent in the 2019 tax return still get the 2 stimulus checks if he files the 2020 tax return as an independent?

If he can, what form will he need to file after filing taxes?

    Yes, if he is no longer qualifying to be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.

     

    He will need to submit the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet with is Form 1040. To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:

    1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
    2. Answer Yes.
    3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
    4. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount should be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.
