Hi,
I also had the same box " your spouse can be claimed as a dependent" mysteriously checked on my 2018 taxes filed with Turbo Tax. I file as Head of Household & my former spouse is not listed on my taxes. It seems to be a Turbo Tax glitch for sure. Can I skip amending my 2018 taxes and just claim the stimulus on my 2020 return or will I be required to amend the 2018 in order to received the $1200 stimulus payment as a credit on my 2020 return? My 2019 taxes were filed correctly -- not done through Turbo Tax!! Not sure why the stimulus payment wasn't based on my 2019 taxes anyway.. Thanks for any and all help!

Did you use the same Turbotax account that you previously used when you were married, did you previously file a joint return with your spouse using this online account? If so, the spouse info worksheet might not have been deleted when you switch to HOH.
If you want to provide a diagnostic code, I will pass it on. Somewhere in the help menu is the command "Send file to agent." This uploads an anonymous version of your file to tech support and gives you a token number that can post here so I can pass it on.
