If you meet the requirements to be claimed as a dependent, even though you were not claimed as a dependent, you do not qualify for a Stimulus Payment.

Thank you Diane. How about this, what if lets say i listed that i meet the requirements but i actually do not, can i change anything? so the thing is, my dad hasn’t claimed me as a dependent in about 6 years since ive graduated college. and when i file my taxes i honestly just never changed the box that said i can be claimed. i pretty much has always kept the same information and only changer my job status if that changed. So essentially I do not live with him, so that would have really been the only reason for him to claim me if he wanted but he didnt and i do not. so its probably too late then to change anything? Thank you again for your answer!

If no one can claim you as a dependent, you'll need to amend your 2019 tax return in order to be eligible for the stimulus payment.

To amend your return, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help topic.
