The round 1 and round 2 stimulus payments are reconciled on your 2020 tax return.  Any amount of stimulus payment will be reported in a letter number 1444 or 1444-B sent to your from the IRS.  If the IRS believes they issued a payment, you can't claim a rebate on your 2020 return because the IRS will automatically remove it.  You have to trace the missing payment instead. 

See question F3 on this page.

The round 3 stimulus will be reconciled on your 2021 tax return.  Although we don't have the 2021 instructions yet, it is likely the procedure will be the same.  If the IRS issued a stimulus payment, they would send you a letter number 1444-C.  If the IRS sent a payment but you didn't receive it, you will have to initiate a trace.
