I filed my federal income taxes and submitted them to the IRS already and just found out I made a huge mistake. I never received the third stimulus check, or so I thought. I reported on my taxes I didn’t receive it and 3 weeks later I was at my mothers house and she had a stack of mail for me from the last 2 years. In it was a letter stating I did get the payment and it was deposited into a bank account I haven’t used in over a year. I checked the account balance and sure enough there was a $1400 stimulus payment. Yes it was a great feeling to find an extra $1400 but after the euphoria wore off I got the wind knocked out of me because I remembered my taxes. It’s been 20 days since I submitted them and they are still being processed. I’m worried about what might happen now. I’m a seasonal worker and I desperately need my refund to get by. So what can I expect in terms of delays or even legal issues from all of this?
