I received my stimulus check the day after I filed it missing on my taxes. Should I just shred it or what do I do?

I never received my stimulus check second round. So I filed it and claimed it on my 2020 taxes and of course I received it the next day. What do I do with that?

Keep the check. See the following FAQ.

I've already claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit. How can I review and update my 2020 tax return?

Note that this is time-sensitive. You must act in the next couple of days.
