I'm 20 years old and a part-time student. All year I've paid out of pocket for community college without a source of income (lot's of saving). I filed my taxes for the first time for 2020 and got a pretty hefty refund for paying so much for school.

Because I filed on March 11, my refund was processing through the dates of the first two stimulus waves (March 17th and march 26th). Is there any chance that I still can get it? Am I even eligible for it? No one has claimed me as a dependent, like I said before my return has already been received. Every time I check the "Get My Payment" I see the words "Payment Status Not Available".

You should be eligible for the first two stimulus checks, they should appear on line 30 or your form 1040 Recovery Rebate Credit. You should have indicated that you didn't get your stimulus payments when you completed your tax return, so they would be added to your refund.

You should also qualify for the 3rd stimulus check, but you don't need to do anything on your tax return for that.
