The question states, "Can anyone claim you as a dependent." Answering the question in my situation, yes someone CAN claim me due to being in college. However, I already knew no one was claiming me, and No one did claim me on their taxes, therefore, I should be eligible to receive the stimulus payment. It should ask if someone IS claiming them for better clarification of this question. This question is misleading and unfortunate that we are penalized for being honest.
I am I hearing this correctly then, an amended return is needed adjusting the answer to this question in order to be eligible for the stimulus payment? Why can't we talk to anyone at the IRS? It would be nice to hear this answer from them directly. Anyone know a way to reach a person? Or email a question?
