Hey so I'm in the same boat as everyone in here.
My parents haven't claimed me in years but I've been filing as "someone else can claim me" in their taxes. So I asked them if they got $500 extra in their stimulus and they said no. I didn't receive nothing. My sister got hers because she didn't file as "someone else can claim me." So now I'm thinking of amending my taxes and fix that error or should I wait until the 2020 tax season and see line 30 of the new 1040 form? Thanks!
Don't bother amending the 2019 tax return. The stimulus was an advance tax credit for those that received it in 2020.
You can apply for the stimulus payment on the 2020 tax return to be filed in 2021.
