Last tax-year (2019) I qualified and filed as a dependent, making me ineligible for the upcoming stimulus check. This tax-year (2020), I qualify as an "adult"/independent and will therefore file as one. Now, if I file my taxes on January 1st, is there any chance the IRS will look at that return when determining my eligibility? Or if I file as an independent for the 2020 tax-year, is there a chance that, some time into 2021, I'll receive the check?
