It depends. The Recovery Rebate Credit is calculated into your overall tax refund and will either increase a refund or decrease the amount of tax owed. For example - if you owed $1,610 in federal income taxes, then the offset of the $1,800 credit will equal a $190 refund on your 1040. Please look at your 1040, page 2, Line 30 to determine if you get the Recovery Rebate Credit.
If you did not receive the Recovery Rebate Credit, it is important to keep in mind that your 2020 income determined whether you are entitled to the credit to recapture any stimulus payments not received. It is likely that you qualified for the Recovery Rebate Credit and subsequently entered additional income into your return that then disqualified you due to your adjusted gross income being over the limit.
Per the IRS, your Recovery Rebate Credit amount will be phased out if your adjusted gross income for 2020 exceeds $150,000 if you are married filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower, $112,500 if you are using the head of household filing status, or $75,000 if you are using any other filing status.
