My mother claimed me as her dependent in 2019 Now Im being asked if I received a stimulus I'm conflicted because I was didn't receive one being a dependent. What do I do?

I know dependent aren't supposed to receive stimulus payments. I just don't know what to put. If I click no, then it of course adds the $1800 on my federal refund.

If you were not a dependent in 2020 you get $1800 of stimulus when you do a 2020 return.

Really? I don't want to mess up my taxes :(

[ee-ea]

Yes, really.
