Get your taxes done using TurboTax

"So I did put that she could claim me this year"
Because of that, you will not be getting a stimulus check this year.
What is not clear is: what happens if your Mom does not actually claim you and you file an amended return to uncheck the box, on form 1040, that says you can be claimed. For sure, if you do get it. it will be a long time coming. If and when you get your stimulus, by amending, please post here to give others some idea how long it takes.
But it probably doesn't matter. Because you can get it early next year, if you are not a dependent in 2020.
"In essence, the stimulus check acts as an advance of your 2020 income tax refund. This means when you prepare your 2020 income tax return, there will be a line to include the section 6428 credit. The credit on your 2020 return is subtracted by any amount received as a stimulus check in 2020. If the amount you received as a stimulus check is less than the credit you are due, the difference will be included as part of your 2020 refund. If you have been overpaid by receiving the stimulus check, however, you will not be required to return any excess amount".
