After you file

No, the way it is now, the stimulus payments will only go to non-dependent taxpayers. 

The payments are advancements of a 2020 tax credit, so if you file in 2020 as a non-dependent, you should get the payment then. 

You could file an amended return if you are not a dependent, but that would take some time to get cleared up with the IRS.
