For the 3rd stimulus, I was a dependent because I was a college student. So my dad got the stimulus. Do I qualify for the rebate credit, if I file independently this year

So my dad got the 1,400 because dependent college student on 2019 tax year. I am filing this year independently and I wanted to know if I could get it solely from the rebate credit?

Yes, you will qualify on your own for the Recovery Rebate Credit if you file your own tax return for 2021. Your father would not have to re-pay the money he received even if you claim it now.

If you were a dependent on a 2020 return but filing independent for 2021 you can get it now and they don't have to pay it back. So say NO you did not get one because you didn't one, your parents got it.
