You will need to prepare your return as if you are not claimed by someone else, but an independent. You will need to print and mail your return into the IRS and your state. The IRS will look at your return and that of the person who claimed you. They will ask you for more information so they can determine who is correct. Once they have made a determination, they will adjust the returns as necessary.

What can I do if someone claimed me without my permission
If you qualify as a dependent on that person's return, he/she does not need your permission to claim you.
If you determine that no one has the right to claim you as their dependent, you should file a paper return, claiming yourself and send it in to the IRS. They will then contact you and whoever claimed you and adjust your tax result accordingly.
How do I receive the paper that I have to send when someone is filing me on their taxes without my permission? Im having this problem and I've been working but always got rejected because of someone using my SSN
If your Social Security number is compromised and you know or suspect you are a victim of tax-related identity theft, the IRS recommends these actions:
See this IRS website for more information about taxpayer identity theft.
If you cannot efile then print, ink sign and mail in the return instead. In the FILE tab choose to mail in the return and the proper forms and instructions will be presented in the PDF.
I am on ssi i dont file taxes but by them claiming me i miss out on the 1200 dollars from the goverment what if anything can i do to get the money
Those that are claimed as dependents on the 2019 return are not eligible for the advance of the credit ... however they may be able to file a 2020 return to get the credit at that time. So you must wait.
I was claimed as someone’s dependent a couple of years back without my knowing. I am related to the person, but due to certain events I no longer have anything to do with them. They do not contribute anything to me in any shape or form. Would this be considered fraud? Would I be able to ask them to for the money they may have received on my behalf for claiming me?
My neice an I live in the same household..we both our own income. I receive SSI an SSDI
However this year she claimed me on her taxes an i didn't know it. Now im worried about it effecting my stimulus package money
To combat the other person that claimed you ... you can file your own return to technically claim yourself and/or turn them into the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/how-do-you-report-suspected-tax-fraud-activity
You will NOT get a stimulus check now if you were claimed as a dependent on the 2019 return.
However, you will be able to file a 2020 return to get the stimulus money IF you are NOT claimed as a dependent on the 2020 return.
The details are still unclear on how all stimulus stuff will work out. You niece gets a $500 tax credit for claiming you as a dependent, but she does not get any additional stimulus $.
Since you are on SSDI, I assume you do not file a tax return. It's my understanding that because you get an SSA-1099 form for the SSDI, you will automatically get a stimulus payment late in April.
Even if you don't, you can file a 2020 tax return, in 2021 and get it then.
"In essence, the stimulus check acts as an advance of a person's 2020 income tax refund. This means when he prepares his 2020 income tax return, there will be a line to include the section 6428 credit. The credit on his 2020 return is subtracted by any amount received as a stimulus check in 2020. If the amount he received as a stimulus check is less than the credit he is due, the difference will be included as part of his 2020 refund. If he has been overpaid by receiving the stimulus check, however, he will not be required to return any excess amount".
If you qualify as a dependent under the rules, a taxpayer doesn't need your permission to claim you. Depending on the details, it may not have been necessary for them to have contributed anything to you in any shape or form. See full rules at https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Family/Rules-for-Claiming-a-Dependent-on-Your-Tax-Return/INF12139.html
The usual way to combat this, is for the person who is allowed to claim you (including yourself) to file a tax return doing so. The conflict prompts the IRS to sort it all out (see other comments in this thread for details).
Depending on the details, it could be fraud. To Report tax fraud: see: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf
Q. Would I be able to ask them to for the money they may have received on my behalf for claiming me?
A. That would be the best way to resolve it. The amount involved could be as little as $400 and as much as $3500 depending on the details
I usually allow my oldest daughter to file me and my youngest daughter but they kept injecting her tax return so she tried just my baby girl and it went through so please tell me what I need to do
Did you accidentally file for the stimulus payment by filing a $1 return ? What was the exact error message or code ?
I need help, some one is claiming me as his/her independent without my permission
I dont want to lose my 1200 stimulus package.
I pay rent $500 each month an buy my own food.
I was never asked permission to claim me. Because I could have claimed myself
Your situation has been covered in the other replies on this thread:
1. A taxpayer does not need your permission to claim you as a dependent. He only needs to meet the rules.
2. If you think you are not a dependent, you just file your own tax return, and do NOT check the "can be claimed as a dependent" box. The IRS will sort it out. Nobody when you'll get the stimulus payment, in that situation. That, too, is covered above.
Turbotax is a DIY program ... operative term is yourself ... you must print, ink sign and mail in the return ... TT cannot do this for you. If the efile was rejected then complete the FILE tab again and this time choose to mail it in ... the instructions and forms will be presented in the PDF.

How to switch from Efile to mail. This one has a Video
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.
Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.
