If I accidentally listed I never received the $1,400 stimulus but I actually did do I have to amend my taxes later on or will the IRS send them back for me to fix ?

I’ve already received my state taxes however I haven’t received my federal. I feel as if I checked I didn’t receive it but I don’t remember and have no way of checking to my knowledge. I filed on January 24th

No, there is nothing for you to do. The IRS will reconcile the third economic impact payment (3EIP) with your return. Once it is reconciled they should adjust your refund if necessary. You can check your tax return (Form 1040, Line 30) to see if there is an entry. If the amount is zero, then your return is correct as is.

You can check a couple of things while you wait.

Sign into your IRS Online Account (or create one)
Review your IRS Transcript (this will populate for 2021 at some point, possibly now)

The second one should tell you if their refund agrees with yours.

If you have an amount on 1040 line 30 that you already got the IRS will automatically adjust your return and take it off. They will reduce your refund or send you a bill for tax due. It will delay your return. You don't have to amend or do anything.
