According to what I read on the IRS website last night, if you filed a 2018 tax return and are required to file a 2019 tax return, then you must FILE your return in order to get your stimulus check. If you set up your return with banking information to direct debit your payment, then I believe that the stimulus check will be sent to you via ACH credit into the same bank account.
as long as you filed in 2018, you are in queue for the stimulus, regardless of whether you filed for 2019

A3. You DO NOT need to take any further action if you filed a federal income tax return for 2018 or 2019. If you already filed your tax return for 2019, the IRS will use this information to calculate the Payment amount. If you haven’t filed your tax return for 2019 but filed a 2018 federal income tax return, the IRS will use the information from your 2018 tax return to calculate the Payment amount

How will the IRS know where to send my Payment?
If you filed your 2019 or 2018 tax return but did not receive your refund by direct deposit, your Payment will be mailed to the address we have on file even if you also receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits by direct deposit. This is generally the address on your most recent tax return or as updated through the United States Postal Service (USPS).
If you did not receive your refund by direct deposit based on your 2019 tax return (or 2018 tax return if you haven’t filed your 2019 tax return), you have the opportunity to provide bank account information through the IRS Get My Payment tool before your Payment is processed. Direct deposit is the fastest way to receive your Payment.
