Probably not. It doesn't matter if they actually claimed you or not; the fact that they CAN claim you makes you ineligible for the stimulus payment. Taxpayers likely won't qualify for an Economic Impact Payment if any of the following apply: Your adjusted gross income is greater than $99,000 if your filing status was single or married filing separately $136,500 for head of household $198,000 if your filing status was married filing jointly You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return. You do not have a valid Social Security number. You are a nonresident alien. You filed Form 1040-NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS for 2019.

Question

If I put on my tax return that I can be claimed as a dependent but my parents didn’t end up claiming me, will I still get a stimulus check?
