After you file
I just called this morning (45 minute wait) as my return was filed/accepted on April 12, 2020. There was a "processing error" so the return was not processed. They were not able to tell me what caused it, she mentioned it could just be a computer error. My return was reviewed on April 20, 2020 so 8 weeks from that date is today June 15, 2020. She put in a request to look at the error and get the refund out to me. She said because of Covid processing times are slower but the waiting period is another 6-8 weeks. So I should get it by August 10, 2020.
Also, my 2018 income was higher than 2019 but the cut-off date for returns was April 10, 2020. If your 2019 tax returned was processed before April 10th then you will get your stimulus payment based on your 2019 return; if not then it is based on your 2018 return. If you did not file a 2018 return then the stimulus payment will be paid after your 2019 return is processed.
