Filing 2019 Taxes as of 4/12 Stimulus Check

If I completed my 2019 taxes and filed today, will I still receive my stimulus check?  2018 I was above the threshold of the Income maximum of $75,000 but in 2019 I was way below.  Will I still qualify?  Or will the IRS just look at my 2018 information since I have just filed?

It is unknown exactly when the IRS is analyzing returns to process the stimulus payment for every taxpayer. If the IRS does in fact use your 2018 information to determine your eligibility, you can always receive a credit on your 2020 return (filed in 2021) for the stimulus you didn't receive in 2020 (as long as you otherwise qualify). The stimulus payment is an ADVANCE on a credit on the 2020 return, so it will still be available on your 2020 return if you don't receive it this year.

2020 W-2 forms have not been issued yet. They will not be issued until 2021. Please provide some more details on your question so we can better assist.
