After you file

The IRS may process your return but deny the dependent claim until they have time to investigate it. If that happened, they would adjust your tax accordingly and reduce your refund or ask you to pay in tax, as the case may be.

 

You have until the end of 2020 to receive your stimulus check, so they should have processed the return by then in any case. So, you may not get your check immediately, but you should get it by the end of the year as a worst case scenario.
