I filled my taxes and already received my refund. I said that I could and would be claimed but turns out I didn't qualify to be claimed. Will I receive my Covid19 check or will I have to amend my return?

Since the CARES Act is still being studied to determine its impacts, there are some questions that can't be answered definitively at this time. Please check for updates at TurboTax’s Your trusted resource for tax information updates during COVID-19 page, and the IRS’s Coronavirus Tax Relief page.

According to TurboTax’s Is the Tax Deadline Delayed? What to Know About Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Your Taxes page, COVID-19 stimulus payments will be based on information from your most recent tax filings, either 2019 or 2018, if you have not yet filed this season.  There’s no indication that you shouldn’t be able to amend your return.

Please see the TurboTax Help article "How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed" for instruction on how to amend your previously-filed tax return.
