I am filing a 1040 Form for 2019, but I have left the US last year, and I currently have no immigration status whatsoever (I am not, and was never, a citizen or a green card holder). I have an immigration petition with USCIS, however.
Why did I receive this money? Practically, for 2020 I should have no relation to the US: not a resident alien, and also not a non-resident alien. I do not have an address in the US, and I do not earn income in the US (at least in 2020 I didn't). I just have my US bank account, but nothing more.
Was receiving this stimulus a mistake? If yes, can/should I correct it?
If this was not a mistake, do I have to file taxes next year for the tax year 2020 to report those $1200 as income?

You need to return the Stimulus Payment to the IRS if you are not entitled to receive the funds.

When the amount of the refund (paper check or direct deposit) is different than what was expected, indicating the IRS changed the amount, a notice explaining the adjustment is mailed to your address of record. Please review the information in the notice to determine if the change to the refund is correct. A toll-free telephone number is included on the notice in case you require further assistance.
