The third stimulus payment is unrelated to the Recovery Rebate credit claimed on your 2020 income tax return.

The Recovery Rebate credit is calculated on your 2020 income tax return and is dependent upon what was entered into the program.

If you were eligible for both stimulus payments but did not receive them, you would have been entitled to the credit.

If you noted that you did not receive the stimulus payments on your income tax return when you actually did receive them, the IRS will adjust your overall return and notify you of any corrections accordingly.

It depends on what was reflected on your 2020 income tax return.

If you had a refund even after applying the credit, you may not owe anything. If however, your credit offset any tax liability, then potentially, yes, you will need to pay the tax due.

I recommend reviewing your tax return to figure this out. Look at line16 that would show your total tax, and line 30 for the amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit. Deduct the total from line 30 from line 33, total payments. The net amount left would be the actual payment on your 2020 income tax return that would be used to offset the tax liability listed on line 16.

Not a problem at all! Since line 30 is zero on your tax return, it doesn't appear that you have claimed the Recovery Rebate credit. The amount on Line 33 would be any additional credits or withholdings you were entitled to. It appears the IRS is determining your adjustment based upon something else aside from the Recovery Rebate Credit.

If you need additional support, as you have paid for the Live support, I recommend submitting a request for a written response within TurboTax itself. This will allow a tax expert to review your tax return as filed and give you more specific advice as to why your return is being adjusted.

Please see the following link for additional steps on how to do this. If you can include your correspondence from the IRS, this will also assist the expert to assist you as it applies to you specifically.
