Question

On my tax return I checked a box saying “someone could claim me as a dependent”but nobody did and I filed independent. Did I mess up there? Just wanting to know for my stimulus check

According to the information on the IRS site, if you were claimed as a dependent or can be claimed as a dependent, then you will not be eligible for a stimulus payment.  Having checked the box on your return that you could be claimed as a dependent will disqualify you from receiving a stimulus payment.
