Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Priya, you dont mention how your husband files, be it efile or paper. If hes already efiled  or had his paper return processed then you're both golden for now. It may become an issue later on if ur husband claimed you as a dependent for 2019 and you successfully filed for and are receiving a stimulus check, but it will probably be ages from now after things have returned to normal, if ever.

 

Or, they may never catch it. It's a simple mistake LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE without malice or ill intent. It wont be viewed as "trying to get over" or anything like that.

 

My suggestion is ENJOY THAT $1,200 GAAAAAL! lol

 

But I'm no expert. Listen to these other folks who are(and then enjoy that cash, hahahaha)
