The stimulus payment is gradually phased out if the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on your tax return is between $75,000 and $99,000 if your filing status is single or married filing separately, between $112,500 and $136,500 if your filing status is head of household, or between $150,000 and $198,000 if your filing status is married filing jointly. If you received only $33 you must be near the top of the phase-out range.

A3. Eligible individuals with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for single filers, $112,500 for head of household filers and $150,000 for married filing jointly are eligible for the full $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 married filing jointly. In addition, they are eligible for an additional $500 per qualifying child.

 

For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$112,500/$150,000 thresholds. Single filers with income exceeding $99,000, $136,500 for head of household filers and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible and will not receive payments.

If they didn't get your 2019 return early enough they will use your 2018 return to calculate it. 

 

See this chart on how to calculate it.
