Deductions & credits
If asked to have it refunded (i.e. paid to you directly) then you do not account for a Federal refund. ( a state could be different if you itemized and deducted state taxes paid in the prior year).
If you asked for it to be applied to your 2021 taxes in lieu of making estimated taxes, what to do is a harder question. In that case I would probably suggest extending the return and waiting until October to see if they credit it properly. Or just file assuming it was credited properly. The IRS will have many of these situations to deal with.
I would suggest creating an IRS account (see https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account ) to get a better view of what the IRS has on record for you.
There is also a special site (and app) for checking on refunds (not credits applied to next year's estimated taxes). That is here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds
