No.

 

In order to qualify, you should amend your return.

 

Attached are instructions to amend your return in TurboTax.

They are scheduled to issue stimulus payments through 2020.  If your return does not get processed in time, please be aware that when you file your return in 2020, you will have the opportunity to report the amount of the stimulus check(s) you did receive, and if it was less than what you were entitled to, you will receive a credit on your tax return in 2020.

 

What does the stimulus package mean for you?
