Hi. If IRS adjusted my amount to $0 and saying “We changed the amount claimed as Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return.” What does it mean? Does it mean my RRC is also $0?

Did you receive the full amount for both the first 2 Stimulus payments? Better check your 1040 line 30 and see if an amount is listed. That's been a problem. A common adjustment is if you claimed the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30 when you already got the Stimulus payments or got the second one after you filed. Or you might have answered the Stimulus questions wrong and tried to claim it again or some more on line 30. So the IRS took it off because you already got it. They know they sent it to you.

If you claimed a missing stimulus payment on your return but the IRS took it off you have to ask the IRS. They think they already sent it to you. Maybe it went to an account you don't remember. Or you got a check or a card. It was probably easy to miss the debit card in the mail and think it was junk mail. They have to put a trace on it.

It means that you received your rebate before you filed your return so you can’t get it again as a refund when you filed the return.
