After you file

Did you have three people on your tax return and claim the 3rd EIP payment  of $1400 per person for all three?   Did line 30 of your Form 1040 show $4200?

 

LOTS of people have made mistakes this year with the recovery rebate credit by "forgetting" that they received the $1400 per person stimulus checks last year.  They answered no to the questions for the  recovery recovery rebate credit and put the $1400 per person on line 30 of their returns.  But you cannot get it twice, so the IRS removes it when it is there by mistake.

Does the IRS show that you received a $1400 per person stimulus or EIP check in 2021?   Did you receive it?   When you were asked on your tax return did you say no?   Was there $4200 on line 30 of your tax return?

 

If the IRS says you got $1400  per person last year but you did not receive it you can have it traced.
