I’m not following you. If our stimulus money doesn’t affect our tax refund, what would it matter. I was off by $600 so they took $600 out of the amount I got back on my refund. If that is correct the stimulus was basically taken out of my income tax. The stimulus check was basically a loan from the amount of my income tax return. If I would have received 1800 as the first stimulus check they would take 1200 out of my tax return? What if my return was zero, would I have to pay the irs back the the money they sent me?
