You cannot put anything about the 3rd stimulus on a tax return. That check is not sent as part of a tax refund. The IRS is issuing those checks separately on its own timetable. The 1st and 2nd stimulus amounts are now based on 2020 returns---not 2019. So your parents will not get any stimulus money by changing their 2019 return. In fact --- if you were over the age of 17 they would not have received the 1st or 2nd amounts for you anyway. Parents received stimulus money for dependent children who were under the age of 17 at the end of 2020.
If you cannot be claimed-----notice the word is CANNOT -- then you can get the stimulus amounts on your own 2020 return and later the IRS will likely send you a 3rd stimulus amount. Or if you CAN be claimed then your parents will get the 3rd stimulus amount for you, since the age limit changed for the 3rd stimulus. If your parents can still claim you as a dependent they can do so on their own 2020 return.
