go ahead and amend the return worst case scenario: The stimulus payments are really based on your 2020 tax return (income, dependents, etc).The IRS is using either 2018 or 2019 – whatever is available - to ESTIMATE that paymentWhen you file next year there will be a “settle up” section on the tax return. If you are due more stimulus (and this would include where you simply never received it), you will receive it through the 2020 tax filing.If you received too much, by law, you are not required to return it

Question

I reviewed my 2019 return and it is marked that someone can claim me as a dependent even though no one did or was going to. Now I don’t get the stimulus check.
