My 21 year old college student wants me to re-file my taxes and remove him as a dependent so he can receive stimulus checks, even though he hasn’t filled since his junior year of high school. He seems to think I’ve been getting “his” stimulus checks, can I remove him as a dependent from what i already filed, without it messing my taxes up, or me having to pay money back ?

Not A Product Question

If he qualifies to be your dependent, even if you don't claim him, he does not qualify for the stimulus. It is best for you to leave your return as it is. You will qualify for the stimulus payment for him since the third stimulus does not restrict dependent payment based on age.
