Clicked "someone can claim me as a dependent" on my 2019 tax return, will I get the stimulus check? I was 25 when I filed and my parents haven't claimed me for years.

no you won't because you checked that boxed. based on your statments and the tax laws no one can claim you so that box should not have beed checked. you may want to file an amebded retun with that box uncheck. can't say for sure if the IRS will honor the amended return for the stimulus check. however, the actual amount you are due will be calculated using your 2020 return.
