Here's a heads up for parents with college age children who claimed them as dependents in 2019 but the children didn't get a stimulus check last year:

If you file their return separately, they will get the $1800 in their tax refund, even if they didn't have a W-2. That is how Turbo Tax figured it anyway. If you count them as a dependent, it only reduces your taxes by $500. So it's $1300 net gain.
