Deductions & credits

If you checked the box that said you can be claimed as a dependent, you will NOT receive the stimulus payment, even if your parents did not actually claim you.

What is not clear is what will happen if you file an amended return to only uncheck that box.  Several people have asked that question and so far a clear answer has not been received.  For sure, it will be a while before you get the stimulus. 

But, if you don't get it in 2020, you will get it in 2021.

"In essence, the stimulus check acts as an advance of your 2020 income tax refund. This means when you prepare your 2020 income tax return, there will be a line to include the section 6428 credit. The credit on your 2020 return is subtracted by any amount received as a stimulus check in 2020. If the amount you received as a stimulus check is less than the credit you are due, the difference will be included as part of your 2020 refund. If you have been overpaid by receiving the stimulus check, however, you will not be required to return any excess amount".
