Will I get the stimulus checks?

Hi, I turned 18 this year but have been filing my taxes since 2018. I’ve been claimed as a dependent in 2018 and 2019 but not for 2020. I was told I could still get the first two stimulus checks so I amended my 2020 tax return and am waiting to see if that goes through. My question was if it’s possible my amendment will get rejected and if I qualify for this third check. I checked on the IRS website and it says the payment status is unavailable for the third check. Any insight is helpful, thanks in advance

Your amended return should not be rejected, assuming you are not listed as a dependent on anyone else's tax return.

 

You should qualify for all of the stimulus checks if you cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return in 2020. Assuming you did not indicate that you can be claimed as a dependent on your 2020 tax return, you should receive all of the stimulus payments.
