Generally, you are eligible to claim the recovery rebate credit if in 2020 you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, weren't a dependent of another tax-payer, and have a valid social security number.
Does the recovery rebate credit to a dual status individual who were a nonresident for the first part of year, and a resident for the second part of the year? For example, a single taxpayer who changes status from F-1 to H-1B on 10/1/2020 and elects first year choice. I cannot find any mention of this topic, I am interest in the reasoning process as well as the conclusion. Thanks a lot.
