If you have already filed then there is NOTHING you can or need to do ... the IRS will catch the "math error" and correct the return automatically.
You can remove the Recovery Rebate Credit (COVID stimulus) by entering into TurboTax the amounts you received from the first and second stimulus payments. If you received the correct amount of stimulus, then nothing more will be added to your tax return. If you received less than you were entitled to, then the extra amount will be added on line 30 of Form 1040.
The stimulus payments were advanced payments for 2020. Since the IRS did not have 2020 information when it sent out payments, the Service used 2018 and 2019 tax information with the understanding that any missing payments would be added to your 2020 tax return.
