Retirement tax questions

It sounds like you claimed a credit when you actually received a payment from the IRS. If you filed jointly with no children, in 2020 you should have received $2400 in the first payment and $1200 in the second. That is the full amount that you can expect to receive in 2020.

 

If you received claimed additional credits, the IRS recognized that and withdrew the excess amount. That would be my summation.
