After you file

Sorry----but you can expect a delay in processing your return.   Since you answered incorrectly about that stimulus payment, your return will be reviewed.   The IRS knows they sent it to you, so they will reduce the refund you were seeing on your tax return form by that $1400.   It will take extra time---we cannot tell you how much extra time.  You will not have "legal issues"-----there are a LOT of people making mistakes with this.
