What if my parent claims me as a dependent after I filed my taxes incorrectly?

I filed my taxes in 2020, but I filed them incorrectly since it was my first tax return and I did not understand a lot of it. I indicated that I could be claimed as a dependent and did not pay for more than half of my expenses, which isn't true. Because of this, I did not receive the recovery rebate credit in 2020. I was going to amend the return today, but it turns out my parents may have claimed me as a dependent, despite me not living with or being financially supported by them that year.

 

Is there any way I can verify whether or not I was claimed as a dependent before I amend my taxes and lose $60, and what happens if they did claim me?
