No. The IRS will not give you a Recovery Rebate Credit if you report an amount that is different from your letter.
The IRS says there are several possibilities for why your account shows you were issued a third Economic Impact Payment even though you did not receive one.
- You were issued an EIP Card and inadvertently discarded it not realizing it was your Economic Impact Payment. You may request a free replacement through MetaBank® Customer Service by calling 800-240-8100 and following the prompts for a lost or discarded card. Please see the Economic Impact Payment Information Center — Topic E: EIP Cards for more information.
- Your payment was made to a bank account or address you shared with a spouse.

- If your payment was returned by the post office or financial institution and hasn’t been credited back to your account yet.
- If none of the scenarios above apply and you never received your payment even though your online account or letter show it was issued to you.
