I e-filed my 2019 taxes through Intuit even though, for the last few years, I've been basically retired and only make about $1000-$2000 per year, cash and don't normally file. As of Sept 20 2020, I'm still get "Payment status unavailable" from the IRS website. Should I be concerned?

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

 

 

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.
