After you file
According to the information on the IRS site, if you were claimed as a dependent or can be claimed as a dependent, then you will not be eligible for a stimulus payment. Having checked the box on your return that you could be claimed as a dependent will disqualify you from receiving a stimulus payment.
Before amending your return to change the question about being claimed as a dependent, you must be certain that you would not qualify as a dependent on another return based on all the facts and circumstances (whether or not you are actually being claimed). Making a change in the return that you already filed stating it was true and correct simply to receive a stimulus payment can be construed as fraud. Be cautious.
You can and should amend your return to include the additional W-2s that you received.
