SO I did my taxes online with turbo tax. I did not get any of the stimulus payments The IRS said its due to me having it checked that someone can claim me as a dependent. I looked back and at my pdf file and it has the box "Your spouse as a dependent" was checked. we filled married but separate returns. Have no clue on why or how that box was checked. was this a glitch in the program.

No, not that we're aware of.

To amend your 2019 income tax return, see How do I amend a 2019 return in TurboTax?

If you were entitled to a stimulus payment but did not receive one, and you didn’t pay for TurboTax with your refund last year, you may need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 taxes to get your money.

Please see the following page for additional information: Why Haven’t I Received My Second Stimulus Check?

Thanks so much for the pictures. Could you please verify what happens when you log into each account, yours and your wife's and the corresponding paperwork? I am not able to get your result. You may need to clear your cookies and cache or change browsers completely.

Married filing separately should not generate dependent when not marked.
