What I read about holding off to file is because if the new stimulus reconciliation goes through it would be (presumedly) based on one's latest tax return.

I mean, I'm guessing by the time it's actually processed—two weeks—and goes through, it might not matter, but Daddy needs a new pair of shoes, ya dig?

Yes it’s a credit not a deduction. Additionally it really doesn’t matter when you file. If you receive the next round of stimulus in 2021 you will also need to do a reconciliation with that return and if you receive all or part of a stimulus you are not entitled to you will need to repay
