@Jennifer43noel No one will be filing a 2020 return until next year in 2021. The 2020 software has not been released yet, and it will be late January before the IRS will begin to accept 2020 tax returns. If someone suggested to you that amending your 2019 return now will result in a stimulus check--it will not work out. Sorry. This is almost mid-October. It normally takes at least four months for the IRS to process an amended return. Due to the pandemic, the IRS is backlogged and it is taking much longer ---at least six months -- for them to process an amended return. So you have a better chance of getting that stimulus money sooner on your 2020 tax return than you do by amending your 2019 return.
