@macuser_22 - I think @gemack99- approach may be easier than suggested. Agree that amending prior year does not good - the IRS will stop issuing 1st stimulus payments in January and then stop the 2nd stimulus payments on January 15, 2021.
The simple approach for @gemack99- is just fill out the 2020 tax return and if he fills it out correctly there should be $1100 on Line 30. It's that simple. That is 'telling' the IRS that stimulus is due.

in particular:
Anyone who received the first round of payments earlier this year but doesn’t receive a payment via direct deposit will generally receive a check or, in some instances, a debit card. For those in this category, the payments will conclude in January. If additional legislation is enacted to provide for an additional amount, the Economic Impact Payments that have been issued will be topped up as quickly as possible.
