After you file

If you are (or were) not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on her tax return, you can amend your return to change that.  

 

Amended returns can be prepared online, but cannot be e-filed. IRS does not accept e-filed amended returns.  To see if you were eligible to be claimed as a dependent, please see this link:  Who can be claimed as a dependent?

 

IRS is processing returns much slower than normal because of reduced staff due to Covid-19. 

 

However, it appears, based on current information that if you do not receive a stimulus payment but were entitled to receive one, that may be reconciled on your 2020 tax return, filed in Spring of 2021.  

 

If you do not qualify to be a dependent, you should amend your return and mail it in as soon as possible.
