Stimulus Check Dependent on Amended Return
Hi,
Way earlier this year, I filed my taxes for the year of 2019. This was my first year that my parent's weren't able to claim me as a dependent so I was luckily able to claim the stimulus check credit on my taxes. As I was filing them, I made sure to pay attention to the questions asking about my dependency and made sure to answer them the way I needed. One of the questions asked whether or not I could be claimed as a dependent. In the moment, I was thinking that they could claim me as a dependent, even though they couldn't, but they didn't end up claiming me. Due to that thought process, I answered no for the question that asked whether I was being claimed as a dependent but yes for the question that asked whether I could be claimed as a dependent. I found out later on after I already had submitted my taxes that the answer I picked for that question would end up causing me to miss out on the stimulus check. I ended up quickly filing an amended return but due to the pandemic that still hasn't been processed yet. It got received in April but they didn't even start processing the amended returns until August if I remember correctly. My amended return still hasn't been processed and I don't believe it will be until next year. When I filed my amended return, I assumed that I would receive the stimulus check credit after my amendment was processed. However, now that it's taking so long for the processing, I am concerned on whether or not I will even receive the stimulus check and when, if known, I will receive it. Hopefully I made this as clear and comprehensible as possible. Thank you.
Questions:
Will I even end up receiving my stimulus check?
When will I end up receiving it?
