That was your mistake. You were supposed to enter the EIP payment you received in 2021 as well. It did not specify getting it by a December date. Lots of those EIP #2 payments went out in early 2021 and you were supposed to say you got it. You cannot get the 2nd stimulus check twice--so since you received it before you filed and had it on your tax return on line 30, the IRS took it away.
