I am a full-time student living at home. My parents were deemed eligible to claim me. I am filing my income but the forms are being rejected.

Check to see what you said in My Info----how did you answer the question when it asked if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent? You need to say YES that you can be claimed.

I did say "yes," and it still kicked my return back. The only thing my parents' return did was help me claim my original stimulus because it was never sent, but they have yet to receive it. Due to COVID-19, I have gone to school online the majority of the year, and they have provided the majority of my support.

What do you mean by "my original stimulus?" Dependents are not eligible to get a stimulus check. And parents do not get stimulus checks for children older than 16.
