Your post was cut off. However, at this point you just need to wait for your return to be processed.

The IRS has not announced how it will handle the misstatement of stimulus payments on the 2020 tax returns. They may catch the error and notify you of the correction.

Due to the timing of the stimulus payments and tax filing season this is a very common experience.

Here is a link to monitor for updates on the Recovery Rebate Credit.
