Who is not eligible for a stimulus check?

Nonresident aliens (in other words, those without a green card). Estates. Individuals who earn more than $99,000 or married couples earning more than $198,000.

That means the $1,400-per-dependent payment should go to the parent who filed the child on their taxes most recently (the IRS will use either your 2019 or 2020 tax return, whichever it has on file). The parent who doesn’t receive a payment is not expected to be able to file for missing money on their 2021 tax return in 2022.

Do you have to file a tax return if you get a stimulus check?

Though many people automatically received stimulus payments for their dependents, some will need to file a 2020 tax return, per the IRS. This is because the IRS may not have all your dependents on file if you don’t usually file a tax return (you’re considered a nonfiler) — for example, if you gained a new dependent in 2020 or if you had a baby.
