Did you receive the first EIP payment?   If yes, you should get the 2nd the same way you got the first one.   If no, then you will need to file a 2020 tax return (even if you did not have any income) in order to get both payments.   Filing a 2019 tax has nothing to do with qualifying for the payments.   If you qualify, you will get them, whether or not you filed a tax return.  

 

The same eligibility rules apply to the second stimulus payment as the first one. You must have a valid Social Security number, and you can’t have been claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2019 tax return.  @kimunaffected
