After you file

Ok I'm aware it's past the time you'd get your check. I did go through a few hours of research,as we seemingly have the same problem. Here's what I discovered;  ineligibility is a small group people, but that unfortunately includes us who have this problem. Upon inspecting the rather broad context within the "get my refund" tool that can be found on the IRS website, I noticed they were candid about one section and that's ineligibility. The wording specifically states you are NOT eligible, if you can be claimed on someone's taxes, it doesn't say you have to be claimed to be ineligible, it just states if you can be claimed, you're ineligible. It's not all bad news though as I started the amendment process (pretty easy although you can't file online, you must print and mail) and found out the IRS owes me 1600 in income taxes and with that info, although it takes up to 16 weeks to amend, stimulus checks will be added as a credit to next years income tax return. I hope that helped and I recommend everyone check out the FAQ section of IRS.gov
