Can you check your 2018 returns and see if that was checked back then too? We are seeing reports it was. So that may have started in 2017 or 2018 and transferred to 2019. Probably never would have been a problem and caught except now because of the Stimulus Check.
There's nothing "broke" with TurboTax concerning stimulus payments; therefore one can't fix what isn't broke.
I am showing as a dependant for my spouse
Not possible. A married person can *NOT* be claimed as a dependent on any tax return, except under special circumstances which *DO* *NOT* *APPLY* to your situation. A married couple filing separate can not, under any circumstances, claim their spouse as a dependent. There are no exceptions.
affected my economic stimulus payment
Without the "EXACT" details of just "how" it was affected, it's impossible to provide you with any meaningful or useful feedback on this. But see https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payment-information-center-calculating-my-economic-impa... as it might answer the question of why the amount of your payment is not what you expected.
Finally, understand that when a married couple files separate, both you you *automatically* disqualify yourselves for quite a number of deductions and credits that you would receive if you filed joint.
