Will I receive a stimulus check since I confirmed that I COULD be claimed as a dependent, even though I was not? I'm getting conflicting info. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick answer. Again, I was getting conflicting information from numerous sources, so I just needed someone to let me know what the correct info was.

Well, all due respect, but that's not really your business. I will answer the first question though: I made the mistake of forgetting that I was giving information on my status for last year and not my current status. At the time I was filing, I could have been claimed. Last year, however, I could not. I went ahead and issued an amended tax return to fix that.
