After you file

Your amended return will ultimately be processed and once you qualify for the stimulus payment it will be sent to you. 

 

The system can see that no one has claimed you at this point.  However, the system doesn't know that someone won't claim you later.  Because taxpayers can file returns all during the year and in some cases into future years, that is why the question is "Can you be claimed on someone else's return?"  If you mark "Yes" then someone may claim you at anytime for this tax year even filing later.  If you indicate you "cannot be claimed" then the issue goes away for the entire tax year.
