It depends.
As mentioned by DMarkM1 above, assuming the 3rd stimulus payment uses the same criteria as the 2nd stimulus payments, it would not be used to offset any existing tax liabilities.
We have not been given any direction on how the 3rd stimulus payment would affect the filing of the 2021 income tax returns at this point so it is not possible to answer your question about claiming it this year.
Also, as the 3rd stimulus is not official yet, none of these scenarios are set in stone. Until the stimulus payment becomes official, things could still change.
