Actually that was your own mistake. You were supposed to enter that you received both of those checks even if you got the second one in early 2021. Because you said that you did not receive it, the software put the credit amount on your return and giving it to you again would have been "double dipping"---which you cannot do. The IRS cross checked, saw that you got the $1200, and took it away from your refund.
