Final answer on claiming $1,400 Recovery Rebate if parent received it for TP last year?

[Chowdahead]

There was a thread floating around regarding this.  Parent had filed 2019 and 2020 return with dependent and received $1,400 EIP3 for the dependent.  Now the "dependent" is filing their 2021 return on their own and not as a dependent of their parent.

 

Can they claim the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit?  Will they receive it?  All logic tells me no, but there was info here that seemed to indicate IRS guidance is that they do in fact qualify.  Thoughts?

Logic does not make a difference. As far as I have been able to tell, the dependent can received the $1,400, also.

The IRS released revised FAQs on EIP3 a few days ago

I had this same situation with my daughter in law.  Mom claimed her last year and received EIP3 and she and my son filed jointly this year and received EIP3 for her as part of their refund.

IRS will send the EIP3 to the qualified taxpayer and IRS will request parent to return the 1400 after correspondence been sent to new taxpayer to confirm the claim.

Has this actually happened?

Can anyone verify this?  Seems outrageous at this time.  Seems IRS would have had this out from the beginning.

No EIPs are to be returned. If you got it, it's yours to keep.
