Stimulus check

No.  You will not be eligible to receive a stimulus check.

 

Part of the ineligibility occurs if you can be claimed as a dependent regardless of if you are or not. 

 

As your mom could have claimed you, you would not be able to receive a stimulus payment.

 

Please see the link below to more details on who is eligible and who is not.

 

Stimulus check eligibility

But should she have been able to claim me as a dependent if I filled my own taxes and claimed myself? 

It depends.

 

They can claim you as a dependent if:

• You are related to them
• You aren't claimed by someone else
• You're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or Canadian or Mexican resident
• You aren't filing a joint return with a spouse
• You're under 19 or 24 years old if you are a full time student
• You live with them for over half of the year (except for temporary absences for college)
• You didn't provide more than half of your own support
