After you file

If you filled out the Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet, your stimulus amount will be included in your refund, even if you did your tax return is wrong.

 

The IRS has said it fix the Recovery Rebate Credit (stimulus), make the correction 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.

 

If you did not fill out that section, the IRS will not figure out the stimulus for you.

 

You will have to file an amended return.

 

A missing W-2 may delay your return. It's possible the IRS will correct your taxes and sent you the adjusted refund amount. 

 

Otherwise file an amended tax return once you get your refund.
