After you file

If you were claimed as a dependent, or could have been claimed as a dependent then you do not qualify for the payment.

 

However, if you just made a mistake on your tax return and no one claimed or can claim you because you provide more than half of your own support and are not a full-time student, then you can certainly amend your return on Form 1040X to indicate this.   This is a common mistake for young people who are used to being a tax dependent - particularly in the first year that they are no longer a dependent.  

 

To amend your return in TurboTax, just log in to your account (or open your program or app) and select the option "I need to amend a return that has already been filed and accepted".  Then navigate to the Personal Info section of the program, update this question, print your return and mail it in for processing.  

 

I am sorry that your job has been affected by this pandemic, and I hope things resume to normal for you soon!
