I looked over my return that I already submitted for 2021. Apparently I didn’t put in that I received stimulus check in 2021 I am wondering if this will be a huge issue for my return? Is there anyway to fix it now that my return has been submitted.

    No you can't get it back or fix it.   You have to wait until the IRS opens on Jan 24 to see if it's Accepted or Rejected.  If it rejects for something then you can fix it and resend it. 

    The IRS will automatically adjust it for you which will delay your return a lot.   All you can do is wait.

    Thank you so much! Hopefully it’s rejected and I can fix it!
