Question

If I was claimed as a dependent for my parents' 2019 taxes what do I put for when turbo tax asks me this question while filing for 2020? "It looks like you qualified for the stimulus, did you get any payments?"

You did not get a stimulus check, right?   And if you were over 17 in 2019 your parents did not receive a stimulus check for you either.  So.....if you not a dependent when you file your 2020 tax return you are eligible to receive the stimulus money.

Yes I was over the age of 17 in both 2019 and 2020. I did not start working until May of 2020. I was a dependent on my parents' taxes, and if they received stimulus money because of my dependency that does not mean I put "Yes" under if I received any payments?
