The TurboTax program will ask about stimulus payments in the Federal Review section of the program.

There are no penalties for filing a tax return after the due date if filing for a tax refund or there are no taxes owed.
So not sending in my 2019 taxes, does that make me ineligible for the newest stimulus check that came out at the beginning of the year?

The first and second stimulus payments are an advance tax credit from the 2020 federal tax return.
If you are eligible to receive a stimulus payment based on your 2020 federal tax return it will be entered on the 2020 Form 1040 Line 30.
The TurboTax program will ask about stimulus payments in the Federal Review section of the program.
i am sorry so the stimulus check that was issued this month is a credit for 2020 taxes i will file this year? so i should still get it even though i did not file my 2019 yet, but all my previous years? i did get my 1st check last year right away.

Correct you will receive the second stimulus on your 2020 tax return. You not filing the 2019 tax return is not relevant for this stimulus payment.
so i should get my stimulus that was given out at beginning of the month, is the delay cause i went through turbotax ? cause when i look at fed page it says it unavailable or something else
Go to this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment-frequently-asked-questions
Get My Payment will reflect the account information provided on your 2019 tax return, Non-Filer Registration, entered on Get My Payment before Dec. 22, 2020, or provided by a Federal Agency who issued benefits to you (Social Security Administration, Veteran Affairs, or Railroad Retirement Board).
Your payment information cannot be changed. If you don’t get a payment and you are eligible to receive one, it may be claimed on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit.
