I never recommend filing a tax return in January or even too early in February, but in your case, do not be so late about filing your 2020 return next year--sometime around mid to late February would be okay. The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can get on your 2020 tax return, so if you do not receive it this year you can get it when you file your 2020 tax return.
