Should I file twice even though it'll get rejected?

[tajasmg]

I filed 2018 AND 2019 taxes and still no stimulus check! I've been waiting for weeks while every other person, even those with temporary citizenship, get their stimulus before me. I am stuck in Massachusetts and don't even have enough money to fly back being that I had to pay rent for the last two months with NO INCOME!! I'm getting so sick and tired of waiting when I filed! I am out of work due to this pandemic, like so many people and I NEED my money. Every single morning I wake up and check the get my payment tool and it has been saying my status is not available and I know I am eligible! I know they say don't file, but non filers have filed and gotten their payments within 10 days and i've been waiting since the beginning of April. Should I file non filers just to put my information in the system again or something? I'm running low here.

No.

If you file twice, it may result in a delay in processing your stimulus payment instead.

Also, if you mailed your returns in recently, this may also be the reason you have not gotten your stimulus payments yet.  

The IRS operations are limited during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Attached is a link with more information as to what departments are available to contact at the moment.
