@taxquery2 , assuming that your original entry ( with J ) and subsequent status adjustment were all as a student, your five calendar year exemption would have expired at the end of 2019. Thus 2020 calendar year would be first year you started counting days towards substantial presence test. You would have met the SPT in June of 2020 and become a "Resident for Tax purposes". Under the CARES Act, US persons ( Citizen, Residents with Green Card and Resident for Tax purposes) with a valid SSN are eligible for the Economic Impact Payments (EIP)
Does this answer your query? Is there more I can do for you ?
