Parents claimed me in 2018 and haven't done their 2019 taxes. I’m 24 and just filed my 2019 taxes and checked the box saying they can claim me. Do I qualify?

No, if someone else can claim you as a dependent, you are not eligible for the Stimulus Payment.

Hello what if you filed my 2019 taxes and IRS accepted your taxes in March. Would I get a stimulus check even though my mom claimed me in 2018

The IRS will go with the most current information available.  If your Mom did not claim you, and you did claim yourself, you are eligible for the stimulus check.

What if I amend and check off the box that no one can claim me?

The IRS has not said if they will be considering amended returns to compute the stimulus payments.

 

They have said that if your stimulus payment is computed incorrectly, you will be able to correct it when you file your 2020 return.
