After you file

If your income tax return was approved by the IRS and it's been over 21 days, see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? If you claimed your stimulus (Recovery Rebate Credit) on your income tax return, it's part of your refund amount. 

 

Perhaps you had a refund offset. A refund offset is when an IRS refund is reduced or intercepted to pay off delinquent debt, such as past-due child support, outstanding student loans, or unpaid state income tax.

 

Note: The stimulus money is not taxable to you.
