The letter should explain the discrepancy.

How much more do you owe? A common adjustment is if you claimed the Recovery rebate credit on 1040 line 30 when you already got the first 2 Stimulus payments or got the second one after you filed or reported the wrong amounts or entered them in the wrong box. Do you have an amount on line 30?

Still have questions?
