After you file

@James Diehl First check line 30 on your income tax Form 1040.   Does it show $1400?   Then check your bank account for a deposit of $1400 sometime after mid-March of 2021---did you get $1400 as a stimulus check?  Check your online account with the IRS.  Does it show that the IRS sent you $1400?   Did you receive letter 6475 from the IRS about the 3rd stimulus check?   If you already received the $1400 last year you cannot get it again as a recovery rebate credit.  If the IRS records show that you received the $1400 already that is why your refund was reduced.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
