So I read this Thread Here and I too am one of the people who got screwed out of the Stimulus payments. I KNOW I didn't check this box, and when I filed again this year, I MADE SURE TO LOOK CAREFULLY and the STUPID box is still checked. I filed for my rebate and called the IRS this Friday (5th) and they said that my return was adjusted to NOT include the credit for the stimulus because this Spouse Can Be Claimed As A Dependent box. So - just in case any of you had hope this would be fixed nearly a year later...it is not. :(
