Stimulus entry is worded incorrectly in Federal form. It states if I received a Stimulus from March to May 2021, IRS doesn't care the date as long it was received in 2021

They then removed the credit from the refund which totals less then Turbo Tax currently states. I hope this doesn't look upon me as an act to comit tax fraud.

If IRS denied your credit, it means their record shows the money was already sent to you sometime in 2021 or 2022.

You should not worry.

A lot of people make errors in reporting their stimulus received. And the IRS has corrected their refunds with no consequence.

Most filers who were reduced believe they didn't get it at all.

Does TurboTax really state that you should consider only the period of time from March to May ??
