After you file

@Ericpls Sadly you probably will not receive a stimulus check this year if you just amended. It normally takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return--which must be mailed.  Right now it is taking much longer than normal.  Mailed returns have been piling up in trailers for several months during the pandemic.  The IRS is just beginning to dig through millions of unopened mail, so it will be a very long time before they make it to your envelope.  If you do not receive a stimulus check this year, it will be available as a credit on next year's tax return when you file your 2020 return in 2021.
