You wouldn't get less money than you would if you claimed yourself. However if claim someone else you would expect more money, especially if you are claiming children.

What do you put on a tax form if your parents are claiming you as a dependent?
There's a box that's checked on Form 1040EZ in line 5 if you're filing your own tax return and your parents are claiming you as a dependent. But you leave the box blank (unchecked) if you're using Form 1040A or Form 1040. On those two forms, it's the box on line 6a and it's stated "If someone can claim you as a dependent, do not check box 6a." The point of indicating on your tax return that your parents are claiming you as a dependent is to make sure that you don't take an exemption for yourself, because your parents are claiming your exemption on their return.

If you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return you are not eligible for a stimulus rebate.

Example: If you and you and a spouse filed, with your mother as a dependent. And your stimulus payment were to be $300 per exemption, you would receive a total of $900.
Can you claim someone on your taxes that has been in jail?
Yes, you can generally claim someone on your taxes if they have been in jail, as long as they meet the qualifying criteria for being a dependent. The IRS does not restrict claiming someone simply because they have been in jail. However, there are specific criteria that must be met, such as living with you for more than half the year and not providing more than half of their own support.
Will you receive money if your dependent has been claimed unjustly for the last 3 years?
You won't unless you file tax returns for the three years in question claiming the dependent. If you've already filed tax returns without claiming the dependent, you should file amended tax returns for the years in question. The deadline for filing a 2005 amended return is April 15, 2009. It is too late to amend years before 2005. Once you file your returns, the IRS will contact you for additional information. Note that if you e-file a return after someone else has claimed the same dependent, your e-file will be rejected. People erroneously assume this means that the first person to file gets the money. All it means is that the second person has to send in a paper return in order to begin the process of determining who gets the dependent.
