i spoke to the IRS about this last week. Unfortunately, since the EIP is fairly new to them they have no way of fixing this very common mistake. I was told to to file a 1040x which would amend the non filers return and explain to them i accidentally checked the box and noone claimed me as their dependent. Unfortunately, that doesn't guarantee the problem will be fixed because we were pretty much marked off as ineligible for the payment. So this would mean we would get a $1200 tax credit on our 2020 tax return. We will recieve that money just not as soon as we were hoping.
