Yes, it will definitely affect your tax return. If you never received the third economic impact payment (3EIP), or stimulus, then you would still be entitled to that because it was based on and reconciled with your 2021 tax return.
If you already received the $1,400 (for each spouse and dependent) on your 2021 tax return, then you will enter the amount you received and the result will be any amount remaining which may be zero.
If you did not receive the 3EIP before filing your 2021 tax return then it would be added as a payment on your tax return and reduce any tax balance due or increase any refund. In your case it appears you have a balance due if you already received this payment previously.
