I'm applying for a F1 visa renewal. I filled my taxes using the 1040 form instead of 1040-NR in the year 2019 and I received my tax returns and the stimulus checks. I did not file taxes the next year. Will that affect my chances of getting a F1 visa?

Your tax filing doesn't affect your f1 visa renewal but it could affect any immigration cases later on. 
 

I'd recommend amending it to 1040NR.
Once you get caught before you amend it, penalties:

1. Pay pack 2019 tax return you got + interest

2. Pay back all stimulus you got so far + interest

3. Fines

4. Up to 5 year if jail time

 

What that does when you want to become a GC holder down the road, think of that.

 

Whatever amount you have collected so far due to that tax filing, it's called stealing technically.
