After you file
If your parents provide more than half of your support and you live with them and are a full-time student, you are still their dependent. Dependents do not qualify for the advance of the economic impact payment.
If you are not their dependent, you could amend your tax return and mail it in, but it is not likely to result in a payment this year (even if it is processed before the year is over which may not happen since the IRS is not currently processing paper returns.)
For the year 2020, if you provide more than half of your own support, earn more than $4,200, and/or no longer live with them you may no longer be considered their dependent.
If that is the case, then when you file taxes for 2020 you may qualify for the credit on your tax return at that time which could increase your refund.
