IRS stimulus check for PR

[markwebb 5]

Did anyone who got their GC in 2020 apply for stimulus check by IRS and got it as well ? 
 

my wife got her GC in March 2020 and we’re not sure if we should apply for stimulus check for her.

If you and her filed a joint  Federal tax forms, even without the GC, she would be elegible with her SS# .  You would have to had filed for the year 2019 jointly.  I don't know of any way to apply for it.  For us, it was automatically.

You won't get the advance payment,  but you will get credit when you file your 2020 taxes

She was non-resident alien in 2019 and I filed taxes as married filing separately. this was before she got her GC or SSN . Not sure if I should apply her on the non-filer section .

She can't use the non filers if she was considered a non resident alien in 2019.
