2019.
First and second wave stimulus checks have/are being issued. The second stimulus was also based on your 2019 return if the payment was issued.
The deadline for the second stimulus payment was January 15th. It is unclear, but has been said that if the full first two payments have not been received, the only way to be compensated is by filing a 2020 tax year return and claiming the Recovery Credit.
The third stimulus has yet to be approved, but should be a payment made independent of the first two.
If your 2020 tax year return is filed and in the IRS system, it will be based on that information.
If not, and sounds like yours isn't, it will be based on your 2019 return.
