Dependent Confusion
Hello,
For 2018 and 2019, I believed my parents were claiming me as a dependent, as they were paying for my health care and occasionally helping me with rent payments and other miscellaneous costs. I was a college student in 2018 and 2019.
However, after recently talking with my father, I found they have not claimed me as a dependent since 2016. So my tax forms are marked saying "someone can claim me as a dependent", but no one ever claimed me.
My main concern is this-- because I said I could be claimed as a dependent, will I be ineligible for the COVID-19 stimulus check? And if so, how would I fix it?
