If someone could help me out that would be great. I filed my taxes as single for 2019. When filing, I had to choose someone can claim you as a dependent, your spouse as a dependent, or spouse itemizes on a separate return or you were a dual-status alien. So I chose "someone can claim me", as that was the only option that made sense. Then later on it asks, "single: Were you claimed as a dependent on another person’s Iowa return?" and I checked the box "no". Neither of my parents have claimed me for 2 years, and they would also not be able to. I pay for well over half of my living expenses and haven't lived at home in 2 years. Will I be getting the stimulus check/ am I an independent? Please help me out!
You have indicated on your federal return that you can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
As a dependent, you are not eligible for the stimulus payment.
If no one can claim you as a dependent, you'll need to amend your 2019 tax return in order to be eligible for the stimulus payment.
To amend your return, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help topic.
