You will qualify for the 2021 payment but you are in an odd situation, so it is impossible to determine when you will get it at this point. It just depends on what information they have and use when they start processing, but you will get it, although it may not arrive immediately. The following is the only information we have at this point:
Do I need to apply to get a stimulus check?
You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited. If you haven’t filed your 2020 return yet, you can do that now to give your most recent information to the IRS, including bank account or address information to help ensure your stimulus check goes to the right place. It is all about the timing here. Since you can e-file amendments this year, you may not have much of a delay, but as I mentioned earlier, it is impossible to know when you will get it.
When will I get my stimulus check?
The IRS has not announced a date yet, but we will provide an update here as soon as it becomes available.
