We switched bank accounts in 2020. Our 2nd stimulus was going to the old account, got rejected. We were told if was not received, to file on our taxes under the Recovery Rebate. We did that. Two weeks later a check showed up. We called the IRS and were told to mail the checks back, they’d be paid out on our returns. Our returns were delayed, presumably to check on all of this. So we took pictures, put notes and mailed the checks back first class certified and have proof they were received by our local tax office. Today our returns were finally processed and the rebates WERE REMOVED FROM OUR REFUNDS. So now we are out of a credit and out of a refund and no way to claim the payment further. Do I call them for a trace? It says they’ll credit it to the account for your tax refund, but the refunds have been processed?
