How to know if I'm dependent or independent?

Hey guys,

 

I've filed my first tax return this January 2020.

Just heard that dependents are not qualified for the stimulus check, and want to know if I'm dependent or not. Where can I check in my tax return to see if I'm dependent or independent? I've did some googling myself, and could not find it still.

 

Also I've made over $4,200 so does that mean I'm independent? 

 

I'm 22 yrs old / working full time / no student / lives at parent's owned condo

 

Thanks in advance

How did you file your tax return?  Did you indicate that you were a dependent or not?  The status you used is on Form 1040.  See screenshot

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

Or -

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2019 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.
