The 3rd EIP payments that people received last year were an advance on a credit that you can receive on your 2021 tax return. The IRS used 2020 returns to send out those checks in a hurry, but apparently based on your 2020 AGI you did not get a check last year. If your 2021 income is lower, then you are able to get the recovery rebate credit based on your 2021 income. The credit will show up on line 30 of your 2021 Form 1040.
