Deductions & credits

Thanks James. My 2020 income qualifies for the stimulus check as my AGI is below $75K. 

 

My question: if I file now, will that trigger payment of the stimulus check (again, my 2019 income was too high and I would NOT have qualified if the IRS uses that figure)?  Otherwise I fear that I'd have to wait until I file 2021 taxes to get that repayment (like they did this year with the second payment of $600 from 2020). 

 

I'd rather amend in a month to take advantage of the new increased unemployment allowance vs potentially not getting the stimulus check now if that's indeed a possibility.

 

Thanks!
