Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It's just coincidence that your stimulus showed up the next day.  Since your refund consists of only the stimulus payment, it is possible the IRS will process your return without rejecting it, in which case if you cash your stimulus check they will know and should automatically adjust your Rebate Recovery Credit, but it's impossible to know for sure at this point though.

 

When you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back, even if it's pending.

 

You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected when the IRS starts processing returns on February 12.

  • If rejected, you don't need to do anything.  You already got your money and there is no need to file.
  • If accepted, you'll need to wait and see if the IRS automatically adjusts your return.  I assume they will, but if not, you will need to amend your return.
