After you file
If you have not yet filed a tax return in the U.S., and this is your first return, you will not be qualified for the economic impact payment if you have a spouse with an ITIN.
The IRS will need to process your tax return to determine final eligibility if no other return is on file and currently they are not processing returns file by mail. We are not sure when normal operations and processing will resume.
Should the IRS process your return before the end of the year, they may process your economic impact payment shortly after your normal refund but I would not expect that they will be combined into one deposit.
If they are unable to process your return in time to issue an advance payment to you, the credit will be available when you file a return in 2020 provided you file with only qualifying social security numbers listed for the filers on the return. An ITIN for the primary taxpayer or spouse will disqualify you for the credit.
