Accidentally listed as a dependent on my federal file. No one will claim me as one. Need to amend, but I'm abroad so can't mail. Worried about stimulus check eligibility.
It was an error on my part. I'm over the age of 24, so can't be claimed as a dependent, but wouldn't have been claimed as a dependent in any case.
I realized my mistake after my return was already filed. I went to make the quick amendment, but apparently you cannot E-file a federal amendment through TurboTax.
I'm currently abroad under a lockdown, so mailing in an amended form seems out of the question. I figure the IRS might catch this themselves considering my DOB. However, I'm worried as I've read those claimed as dependents are not eligible for the new stimulus checks that will be deposited by the federal government soon. I'm curious if the error on my return will make me ineligible or, since no one is actually claiming me, will it not matter?
Of course, if there's a way to amend the file online, would also love to know! Thanks for any and all help.
