Somebody claimed me as a dependent on their taxes without my permission. What do I do

[Anonymous]

you only have one option.  if you are not somebody's dependent don't mark the box .  you will have to paper file.  eventually the IRS will send both of you a letter asking to amend.  when neither amend the IRS sends a second letter asking for proof.

I was woundering where was my stimulus was. And as I put in my info... It stated that I was claimed as a dependent on someone else taxes. In which i filed my own taxes for 2020 amd was excepted. So that part i dont understand..

You must mail your tax return because it will not be accepted through e-file since someone claimed you as a dependent. This link explains exactly what to do if you were claimed as a dependent when they were not entitled to do so.
