@Exoticeuropean The only EIP payment anyone could possibly have received for claiming you would have been the 3rd payment, since no one could get the 1st or 2nd EIP payment for a dependent older than 16.
If you were claimed and could NOT be claimed then file your own tax return that says no one can claim you---the question about that appears in My Info. Then print, sign and mail your own tax return. If someone already used your SSN to claim you then you cannot e-file. The IRS will sort out who could (or could not) claim you--so don't worry about what the other person does with the EIP money if they got it.
You can use the recovery rebate credit on your own 2020 return to get the 1st and 2nd payments if you did not receive them, and later you will be able to get the 3rd one. There is no place on a 2020 tax return to enter anything about the 3rd stimulus check. It is issued by the IRS later.
The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return. If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021
The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the FEDERAL REVIEW section. ( you should see "Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount”) If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
Make sure that you enter ALL of the stimulus money received for the 1st and 2nd stimulus for yourself, your spouse and your children.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
