Do I qualify?? My mom claimed me in 2018 but she didn’t file in 2019. I filed myself in 2019 and an not a dependent!

Since you filed a 2019 return, the IRS will use the information from your 2019 return to receive the stimulus check. Since you were not a dependent on someone else's tax's return for 2019 you should receive the stimulus check.

This is who is eligible for a stimulus payment

The amount you'll receive will depend on your total income in 2019 or 2018. If you qualify, you'll receive one payment. Here's who qualifies:

If you're a single US resident and have an adjusted gross income less than $99,000
If you file as the head of a household and earn under $146,500
If you file jointly without children and earn less than $198,000

How much you'll get as a single taxpayer

A single US resident must have a Social Security number and an AGI under $75,000 to receive the full amount of $1,200. The sum decreases as your AGI goes up. If your adjusted gross income reaches $99,000, you won't be eligible for the stimulus.

Hello, I am a J1 participant of 2018 summer work and travel program and I just filed my 2018 return yesterday and still waiting for the approval. Since my BB&T bank account was closed so direct deposit won't work. Mailing check is the alternative for my return. Am I qualified for stimulus check? Even if I just got to file my 2018 tax return yesterday.

My Parents claimed me as their dependent 2019 tax, but I still filed my own tax & got a refund. Will I get a stimulus check?

@payanin Sorry no, when you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return you do not qualify for the stimulus money.

I just filed my taxes and stated that my dad claimed me, but he just told me that he actually didn't. Do I need to send an amendment to get the stimulus, and if so, will it be accepted and filed before the the deadline in July?
