I have not been in the same household as my parents for about a year, and I am not a student either. I provide 100% for my own support and I was confused as to why I didn’t get the first stimulus check, and an H&R Block rep told me that it was because I selected that I was unsure whether I could be claimed as a dependent. Even though I later found out they couldn’t claim me. I would think that would outweigh what I selected.
What *you* selected on *your* tax return determines it. Amending now will do no good since amended returns will take 6 months or longer to process. Just file your 2020 tax return before April 15, 2021 and indicate that you did not receive the stimulus and the IRS will use the 2020 tax return.
