Deductions & credits

I already received 1st stimulus payment, it is based on my 2018 tax return when 2019 tax return was not processed by then.

As I discussed with IRS agent, the 2nd payment calculation is based on 2019 tax return, and i didn't receive it due to late 2019 tax process.  The IRS agent said when i file 2020 tax return, the tax software is still based on 2019 tax result, not 2020 tax. The IRS website also state that 2nd stimulus payment is based on 2019 tax return, how you get the info that 2nd payment is based on 2020 tax?

The 3rd payment is also based on 2019 return when 2020 is not filed yet. It seems the TT software doesn't take the right calculation base, it should take 2019 tax result based on policy from IRS, instead of 2020., right?
