Question

If I select yes to "Someone else can claim me as a dependent," and they choose not to on their tax return, will I automatically be filed as an independent?

The individuals who can claim me as a dependent have not yet filed their taxes.

No. You need to talk to them. If you file as somebody claiming you and then they don't, you will have to file an amended tax return to claim the missed stimulus.
