After you file

The stimulus checks were paid in advance for a credit that you can receive on your 2021 tax return.   Stimulus and EIP, and recovery rebate credit all refer to the same money.   You cannot get the $1400 twice.   Sorry.   If you misunderstood the questions and put it on your tax return again, you were trying to get the credit for money you already received.  Please check your online IRS account to see when the IRS says you got your $1400.
