You electronically filed your 2021 Federal 1040 tax return and have received your refund.

If the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return had included a $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 and you did not receive the credit, you will receive a communication from the IRS explaining why your Federal refund was changed.

What the communication says will determine your next course of action. Did your Federal 1040 reflect a good mailing address?

Yeah it reflected a good address, but i have not heard or gotten anything from the IRS on why I haven’t gotten the $1400

Double check your tax return @28jay_. Line 30, Recovery Rebate Credit, of Form 1040 should have an amount if you included a stimulus on your return.

If it does not, you will have to file an amended return. The IRS corrects stimulus payments except in cases where the taxpayer does not claim any stimulus.

For instructions see How to amend (change or correct) a return you've already filed. If you do not see instructions for 2021, it means the 2021 amend section is not ready yet.

If there is an amount on line 30 and your refund is less then the IRS has a record of sending you a stimulus. As Tax Expert @Jamesg says, you will get a letter explaining the change.

You can ask the IRS to trace your missing stimulus payment. See How do I request a Payment Trace to track my third Economic Impact Payments?
