After you file
The refund status message is a generic message when the IRS is going to make changes to your return. You should have received a letter from the IRS telling you that they were adjusting your refund amount and the reason they were doing it. If you are missing $1,400 (or $2,800 if married filing jointly) the IRS records probably state that you did receive the third stimulus in 2021 when they were being sent out which is why they removed it from your return.
You can go back and check your bank records to see when you received it. Some people received as late as December, others as early as May. If you absolutely did not receive it you can contact the IRS at 800-829-1040
