Question: I got screwed out of my stimulus because I am over 17 make over 3k but I’m claimed from my parents.?

My parents claimed me while I am in college to try to get a tax break…I am 21 years old have my own home which I have a mortgage for…I go to school 20 credit hours in college and work 42 hours full time job and make over 3k per year. I got screwed out of my Stimulus when college kids trying to save for their tuition and still try to have a life should get this money!! I work hard!!
I am on good terms with my parents. And well I mean my parents did pay for everything when I was a child and middle school and until I was old enough to get a job … so I think I would feel guilty to ask for it ya know??
And saying my parents did it for a tax break sounds bad… I didn’t mean it like they are swindlers. Most people claim their children through college so its not like a “tax break” as I called it.

Answer: The parents do NOT get any extra for a college kid on their stimulus because you don’t get it for dependents over 17. So where does these kids 300.00 go? The parents get a break on their actual taxes but nothing extra on their stimulus.
