The world would be a better place if you took your own advice. [Here's the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet from the IRS' 1040 Instructions.](https://files.catbox.moe/es5tne.pdf) I direct your attention to question #1 which states: > Can you be claimed as a dependent on another person's 2020 return? > > YES You can't take the credit. That eliminates anyone who is a dependent from taking the credit themselves. Now, on to lines 6 and 9, which say: > 6. Multiply $500 by the number of qualifying children under age 17 at the end of 2020 > > 9. Multiply $600 by the number of qualifying children under age 17 at the end of 2020 That's the only chances you get to get a stimulus for a dependent. Notice that child 17 or older who is a dependent does not get a stimulus payment, nor do their parents.
