@fanfare Can you elaborate on what the new instruction is? Is it:

I'm married filing jointly but neither received the third stimulus check in 2021 and IRS denied our Recovery Rebate Credit claim on the 2021 tax return. (We received the first stimulus payments, #1 Debit card & #2 Check.) IRS website provided general reasons as to why one might not qualify, but we met all of the requirements to qualify, including income less than $150,000, and we each received Forms 6475 from the IRS in 2022 saying that we were each issued $1,400 in 2021 Economic Impact Payment. I've called the phone number the IRS provided 7 times (different weekdays & hours) and each time I get a recording saying to call back later due to extremely high call volumes on this topic.
The only piece of information I've found to be a little helpful says to request a payment trace (Form 3911) but that takes 6 weeks.
@knifer94 Let us know if you have any success on this issue as I would like to know the method so I can get it too
