Thanks for replying. If I file form 4868 for 2019 can I get the stimulus payment of $1200?

I do not receive Social Security income, only dividends and interest income of less than the $38k threshhold to be taxable. I have Latvian, not US residence, though I can use my brother's NJ address or a US bank account to receive the check by mail or direct deposit. Thanks again.

Yes you can file an extension request, Form 4868, for the 2019 tax return. Go to this TurboTax website and you can e-file the extension request - https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/

You mentioned that you have income of less than $38k. As a US citizen you are required to report your income, US and Foreign, each tax year if your income is above the minimum requirements to file.
