I am eighteen years old, have not technically graduate HS (I was homeschooled), but I live on my own. I was not claimed as a dependent and have been paying for myself for over a year.. How likely am I

The stimulus checks that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says will be deposited into Americans' bank accounts "within three weeks" won't be enjoyed by everyone. That's because the massive $2 trillion stimulus package, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Security (CARES) Act, excludes some Americans from receiving the one-time payments, which are set at $1,200 for adults and $500 for children. 

Here's who won't get a stimulus check:

• Children who are 17 or 18 years old.
• Many college students between the ages of 19 to 23.
• Adults who can be claimed as dependents.
• Nonresident aliens (in other words, those without a green card).
• Estates. 
• Individuals who earn more than $99,000 or married couples earning more than $198,000.
• People who haven't filed 2018 and 2019 tax returns.

If were NOT a dependent on the last tax return you filed, you should be receiving a stimulus payment.

If for some reason you were to not receive it, you would receive that amount as a credit on your 2020 tax return (assuming that you are not a dependent).
