2019 income does not qualify for stimulus while 2020 yes

My family was impacted by the COVID 2020 recession and our 2020 income was much lower than 2019. Based on our 2019 income we did not qualify for the third round of stimulus, but based on the 2020 income we qualify for the full stimulus amount.

 

Under this condition I rushed and filed the taxes 3 days before the stimulus payments in March with the result that I did not receive a stimulus check at all.

 

Some people told me that I need to amend the taxes and I can request the stimulus as part of my refund. Is this the best way to proceed? If yes, what steps do I need to do to claim my stimulus?

 

Thanks
