Question

Will I be eligible for a stimulus check if I filed as “MFS”, but someone can claim my spouse as a dependent?

Yes, you will qualify for the stimulus payment under the rules for nondependent filers. Since you filed as married filing separately, the IRS will use your return to determine your eligibility just as they would if you filed as a single taxpayer. Please view this IRS link and use the Get Your Payment application to check the status of your stimulus payment.
