After you file
It is not at all clear what your problem is with the 2018 return or what steps--if any-- you have taken to track it down. Were you supposed to verify your identity with the IRS and did not follow up and do so? Did the IRS send you a letter last year about verifying your identity?
And as for your 2019 mailed return---the IRS is working on opening over 11 million pieces of mail that piled up in trailers during the pandemic. Your 2019 return may still be in that pile.
The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check. If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.
TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:
You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.
