Stimulus check

[Bgriffin1220]

I claimed myself when I filed my taxes in 2019 but my mom was able to claim me as a dependent on hers taxes somehow and now I’m not sure if I’ll get a stimulus check or not

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.

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

[JotikaT2]

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
