Can I get stimulus? I am 19 and graduated 2021 so my parents claimed me dependant. I didn't receive any stimulus nor did they get any money for me. What can I do?

I would like to know if there's anyway I can amend my return to he able to receive the stimulus checks. I have been working a full time job since I turned 18 and a couple of other people at work younger than me have said that turbo tax let them get the stimulus but it gave me no option (I assume since I was claimed as a dependant) can I ammend the return in any way to get the return or am I just our of luck?

Depends do not qualify for the stimulus.    Your parents should have received it.

That's what I afraid of. My only issue is they didn't receive any for me either. We got no money at all for me.

If you can be claimed as a dependent on your parents' 2021 return then you are not eligible to receive the recovery rebate credit on your own return.  Dependents are not eligible.   If your parents did not get the recovery rebate credit for claiming you then they either answered something incorrectly on their own tax return or they had an income that was too high and were not eligible to receive it.
