I didn't file my 2019 taxes, how do I get my second stimulus check using my 2018 agi?

you will file your 2020 tax return and as part of that return there is a 'stimulus settle up' section. If you are due additional money it will appear on Line 30 of Form 1040. Everything is now based on your 2020 income and filing status; 2018 and 2019 do not matter.

It didn't give me that option... I'm doing taxes by myself do I need to have a tax pro do it?

if you are doing it yourself, then look to line 30 and the worksheet that will be provided to calculate it,

Why are you doing it yourself? it can be complex and an error can cost more than paying someone to do it!

Depending on your income level, you can use a number of the websites that offer to do tax returns for free. Also, there are local VITA and AARP sites in most communities that will do it for free.

ps -when you stated you are 'doing it yourself', I took that to mean (maybe incorrectly, you are doing it with pencil and paper!)
