My stimulus check arrived after I filed my 2020 return. Should I deposit my stimulus check now or wait for return as I noted on return that I don't have stimulus check?

While filing return for 2020, there were questions regarding stimulus and I answered as not received, so the return filing considered stimulus amounts while calculating the tentative return amount. I received second stimulus check of $600 after I filed my returns. Should I deposit the check before my returns are processed or wait till the return processing is complete? If I deposit the check before return is processed, will it look like I am trying to do a fraud, whereas I am not?
