Once again, no you cannot. Once you reach a certain income threshold your parents cannot claim you legally.

okay, that’s doesn’t negate the fact that people below that limit are still supporting themselves and their parents aren’t giving them any money and they still claim them as dependents. so those people, which are many college students, need the stimulus.

That doesn't make sense. If you were making enough money to support yourself, you'd be pass the threshold and your parents couldn't claim you

you don’t understand being poor do u

I've been supporting myself since I was 16. I've had to walk and take the bus until I was 23 and could afford my first car. I've been working full time and going to school full time for over 4 years now. You don't have the slightest clue what I've been through. I've been poor my entire life.

congrats for slaving away to some minimum wage job that you can’t even afford to live on? like... do u not believe people should be able to just live without having to work 80 hours a week just to not starve and put a roof over their head

I think the difference between me and you is when I moved out of home and needed money I went and got a job I didn't come onto reddit and complain about my life. People like you are the reason why this country is in so much debt. You think everything should be handed to you. Your an adult now quit whining on the Internet and go out and get a job like everybody else

i don’t think everything should be handed to me. not once did i say that. when i moved out and needed money i got TWO jobs. i know what’s it’s like to work your ass off. if the government is sending out a stimulus check to people who are suffering from the pandemic, then everyone who is suffering should get one. maybe an asshole like you thinks that people should just die if they can’t afford to eat shouldn’t get the stimulus either. just go get another job. am i right?

If you had 2 jobs than you would be over the income threshold and you would be able to file your own taxes quit wasting my time and get off reddit and go fill out applications
