After you file

Do you mean you don't understand why you received the letter or you don't understand why you got the payment?

 

The letter is telling you that according to their records, they sent you a 1,400 Economic Impact Payment.

If you don't recall getting it, look over your bank statements, it could have been direct deposited. 

 

When you do your 2021 tax return, the program will ask how much you already received. If you already received what you should have gotten, there is no impact on your tax return. 

If you did not get the full amount, the difference will be added to your refund (or subtracted from tax you owe)
