Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My refund has been held up on my 2021 taxes because my return was being checked for accuracy. So I've waited and waited and still the same message about my refund being delayed, blah blah blah. So I decided to do some research as to why this may be, because our joint return was super simple for 2021! Just a couple of 1099's basically, so I'm like accuracy?! Then I realized that I had not entered the $2800 on Line 30 for the third stimulus payment! I don't think we ever received IRS letter 6475, giving us instructions for our return. So, I had forgotten all about it and there is no amount entered on Line 30. So, I'm assuming this is what's held up our refund this year? And I don't remember TT asking me about this stimulus payment either. It says Do NOT file an amended return with the IRS. I'm wondering if this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do or should do? I'm supposed to get a refund and I've read that receiving that third payment should not affect my refund amount. I'm hoping that is true?
