I’m a college student. No one has claimed me on their taxes. I’ve filed my own taxes and received my refund but I’ve never gotten my stimulus check. Am I getting one? I checked online and it gives me an error message saying I might not be eligible.

CAN YOU be claimed by anyone else? the issue is not whether you were claimed by anyone else.....

 

for example, if your parents choose not to claim you but they could claim you, then there is no eligibility for the stimulus.

 

What did you check on your tax return? did you check the box that states someone CAN claim you?

I checked the box NO for if anyone can claim me.

then you should receive the stimulus check 

 

 Check the IRS website for status of the stimulus payment and update your bank information if necessary.

  AGI is line 7 on your 2018 return and line 8B on your 2019 return.  Refund is line 21a of the 2019 tax return. and line 20a for 2018
