After you file

Basically it means you said you did not get all of the first 2 stimulus payments in advance and asked for the missing amount as a credit on the return form 1040 line 30.  

 

If you claimed a missing stimulus payment on your return but the IRS took it off you have to ask the IRS. They think they already sent it to you. Maybe it went to an account you don't remember. Or you got a check or a card. It was probably easy to miss the debit card in the mail and think it was junk mail. They have to put a trace on it.
