I got the letter in the mail stating that I would get something however I was claimed as a dependent on my father's return and someone at work told me because of that I won't be getting anything, is this true?

This is true. You can file a form and submit it for the $300 from your dad.

You obviously haven't paid attention to ATOT. The caliber of posters has gone WAAAYYYY down.

Google is a foreign word for a lot of people including the OP.

Never said he owed me anything, I was just curious to know if I was personally getting anything.

I was just commenting on JS80's original post that said your dad owed you $300.

I found the website however since I heard conflicting things from co workers I thought I would ask ATOT because all members must have a law degree to post here right?

so you found this on the IRS website:

Q: I know some people won?t get a stimulus payment. How do I know if I?m one of them?

A: You won?t get a stimulus payment in 2008, if any of the following apply to you:

* You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else?s return (whether or not you actually are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return). For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent?s return. [Updated 4/15/08]

but couldn't understand it?

Yes I found that, however like I have stated my co workers were mentioning something about how their H&R rep told them that even though they were also claimed as a dependent that they would still get one. I don't have a H&R Rep sooo ya.

If somebody can claim you as a dependent on their tax return, you don't need tax prep service.

one is coming from the IRS (the people issuing the check) and one is coming from your uninformed co-worker but you still aren't really sure what is true. No wonder my order gets screwed up at the drive-thru...
