After you file

It is unknown when the IRS is going to review 2018 and 2019 returns to determine eligibility for the stimulus payment. If you didn't file in 2018, and you didn't file your 2019 return in time for the IRS to review it for the stimulus, then you can still receive it in 2021 when you file your 2020 return. The stimulus is actually an ADVANCE on a credit on your 2020 return.
