The IRS is making stimulus payments based on the information on your return and not necessarily matching it up with other filings to confirm. Per the IRS, you are not eligible if:
You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
It does not state that you are claimed, but rather that you are can be claimed on someone else's return.
The IRS has created a Get My Payment portal to track the progress of these payments for taxpayers. It is expected to be available beginning April 17, 2020.
So how would I fix my tax return to say I can’t be claimed?
If she was not eligible to claim you as a dependent, you can amend your return, if it has already been accepted.
Here is a link to determine if she was eligible to claim you as a dependent: Who can I claim as a dependent?
