Can I claim the rebate on behalf of someone else?

Asked 2 years ago
In general, the Economic Stimulus Payment Rebate is intended for individuals, and each qualifying person must claim their own rebate. However, there are certain circumstances in which someone may be able to claim a rebate on behalf of another person, such as a dependent. If an individual qualifies as a dependent on someone else's tax return, the taxpayer may be eligible to claim the rebate for that dependent. It is important to note that there are specific eligibility requirements and conditions that must be met. The guidelines can vary depending on the specific payment program in question, as there have been multiple rounds of economic stimulus payments with different criteria. For the most accurate information, it may be helpful to look at the official website, which provides detailed guidelines about how eligibility works and who can claim the rebate.
