Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Rechelle2020  this is probably going to delay your refund and isn't the right way to handle this.  You should claim it as the letter states, as that is what the IRS records reflect.  Then, you initiate a "refund trace" https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/2021-recovery-rebate-credit-topic-g-finding-the-third-economic-impact-p...  See "Q3" at this link.

 

The IRS is going to catch this when they process your return, reduce your refund by the amount in your letter, and delay the balance of your refund while they do it, sadly.   

So others beware - if you get a letter that says you receive a payment do NOT claim the credit on your tax return.  follow the directions in the above link instead.
