I pay estimated taxes. 2020 federal return has not been processed even though accepted by IRS back on Feb 12. My records exactly match what IRS has on file

For amounts that I paid.  State return had no issues (do everything same for both).  Been doing estimated taxes now for 5 years.  When I check IRS website they have on file for tax amount paid for 2020 exactly what I have for copies.  However, they are saying that I paid $$ more than I claimed.  I have made 2 est tax payments in 2021 for 2021 that are an exact $$ amount for what they say I am off.  Does anyone know how long it might be before they get this corrected on their end and issue our tax refund which then will allow our stimulus check to be issued?  I have heard that our stimulus checks for 2021 are tied directly into whether or not we have filed our 2020 taxes.  Those that are late filers/or easy return ppl get their stimulus as they based off of 2020/2019 returns.  Those of us with issues are not getting the stimulus yet because our 2020 return is hung up.  They one person I reached at the IRS who couldnt answer more than general questions says they are weeks behind processing and the website for information has issues that they are working on (lack of current updated info)
