Did you file a joint return last year? Did each spouse receive the $1400 stimulus check? And then when you prepared your tax return did you only enter the amount from ONE of the letters sent to you by the IRS? Did the two of you receive $2800 and did you say you received $1400--based on only one of your letter 6475's? The IRS sent that letter to both spouses. Many people made this mistake and put an extra $1400 on line 30. You cannot get that stimulus money twice, so the IRS recalculates your refund or tax due.

Does the IRS show that you received a $1400 stimulus or EIP check in 2021? Did you receive it? When you were asked on your tax return did you say no? Was there $1400 on line 30 of your tax return?
If the IRS says you got $1400 last year but you did not receive it you can have it traced.
