Lots of people made mistakes with the recovery rebate credit.   You were asked if you received the first and second stimulus amounts ---- and if you answered incorrectly then the software put the stimulus on line 30 and it was added to your refund.   You cannot get it twice.   The IRS cross checks to see how much you really received and if you answered that you received less than you actually received they recalculate and reduce your refund.
