Do you have to file if you are a non-filer?
If you filed in one year but not the other, the IRS will use the information from the year you did file, and then you would not need to use this tool.

If you do plan to file in 2019, you do not qualify as a non-filer. The IRS extended the federal tax return deadline to July 15, 2020, so there is still time to file if you do qualify and need to do that.
