stimulus check in question

[asesposi]

I checked the box that indicated "Someone can claim me as a dependant" on my tax return and mailed my tax return.  I wasnt required to mail it, and it had zero's all over it with my SSDI benefit amount.  I am 36 years old and on disability through social security.  My parents arent going to be claiming me as a dependant this year.  Will the fact that I checked that box off prevent me from receiving the stimulus check ??

If you checked the box that someone else can claim you as a dependent, you will not get a stimulus check.  If you are absolutely sure your parents did not claim you as a dependent, I suggest you amend the return and claim yourself.

If you've filed your return and need to add additional information, then you will have to prepare an amended return in TurboTax.  I suggest you wait at least 3 weeks before sending it to ensure that the IRS does not confuse the returns.  You have three years to file an amended return.

If you used TurboTax Online, simply log in to your account and select “Amend a return that was filed and accepted.” 

If you used our CD/download product, sign back into your return and select “Amend a filed return.” You must file a separate Form 1040X for each tax return you are amending.

You will have to mail the amended return.  The IRS limits the system to only one Social Security number or Tax ID  to be E-Filed.  This is to guard against fraudulent tax returns.
