After you file

If you checked the box, on your return, that says you can be claimed as a dependent; you will not be getting a stimulus check.  The IRS will not be checking to see if you were actually claimed.

 

This question has come up lot, here in this forum,  and what is not clear is: what happens if you file an amended return to uncheck that box. 

Currently IRS is still processing 2019 paper returns.
