Stimulus Check

[KhalilRomero]

I was claimed as a dependent in 2018 tax year, however in 2019 I filed as independent. 
The issue I’m worried about is I filed my 2019 taxes after the first wave of stimulus checks went out. 
Will I still get a stimulus check? Do I need to do anything extra in order to receive it?

@KhalilRomero - you should be fine.....  was your 2019 tax return PROCESSED? ("accepted" doesn't mean much)

the stimulus check would come a few weeks after the 2019 tax refund is issued based on what I see from other posts. 

 Check the IRS website for status of the stimulus payment and update your bank information if necessary.

  AGI is line 7 on your 2018 return and line 8B on your 2019 return.  Refund is line 21a of the 2019 tax return. and line 20a for 2018

not much for you to do at this point but keep checking the portal.... you did everything correctly.

@NCperson Thank you for your response! I see it hasn’t changed from accepted to processed just yet. And whenever I check the IRS portal is says “Payment status not available” but I’ll keep checking.

IRS FAQ:

Payment Status Not Available – We cannot determine your eligibility for a payment at this time. For example, this could mean:

• You are required to file a tax return, but:
• We haven't finished processing your 2019 return
• The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it.
• You don't usually file a return, and:
• You used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet
• You receive an SSA or RRB Form 1099 or SSI or VA benefits; information has not been loaded onto our systems yet for people who don’t normally file a tax return.
• You’re not eligible for a payment (see Eligibility).
