No, you will not get the stimulus payment since you are age 17 or older and a dependent. However, your parents who claim you as a dependent will get a stimulus payment for you as a dependent.

Doubtful that will be able to file as not a dependent. If you are eligible to be claimed as a dependent, even if not claimed, you must enter on your tax return that you can be claimed as a dependent.

These are the requirements to be claimed as a dependent under the Qualifying Child rules.

To be a Qualifying Child -

1. The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.
2. The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the year and a full-time student or (c) any age and permanently and totally disabled.
3. The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year. Temporary absences while away at college are considered living with you.
4. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
5. If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
6. The child must be a U.S. citizen or U.S., Canada or Mexico resident for some portion of the year.
7. The child must be younger than you unless disabled.
