All there is to do is wait another few weeks. If your returns were accepted and approved, the next step is for the IRS to process the refund.
What was received for stimulus payments must be included in the return so that any difference not yet paid can be sent.
- If there were no errors when reporting the stimulus payments, now that you have waited longer than 21 days after first filing, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to find out why.
- If there is anything missing, you may be able to provide details so the return can be processed.
- If there were any mistakes on the stimulus payment section, the IRS will recalculate the Recovery Rebate Credit. and there will be a slight delay in processing your return. But, you will not need to do anything else.

- DO NOT file an amended tax return with the IRS. If you entered an amount on line 30 but made a mistake in calculating the amount, the IRS will calculate the correct amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit, make the correction to your tax return and continue processing your return. If a correction is needed, there may be a slight delay in processing your return and the IRS will send you a notice explaining any change made.
