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.

Good morning,

I filed my 2019 and claimed my 22 year old son since he didn't work in 2019. But he worked in 2018 and filed his own taxes and I didn't claim him. Will he get a stimulus check since he filed 2018 taxes and was not claimed on my tax return?

If he is not eligible because i claimed him, can i revise my taxes and take him out so that he can get the stimulus check based on his 2018 tax return.

Thanks for your help.

@mcaputo1969 The report is that they go off the most recent information, and since you filed for 2019, they would likely go off that and classify him as a dependent. As for amending, there's no real way to amend a return right now as amended returns are mailed and the IRS is not accepting mailed returns currently.

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?
