It depends. Perhaps the 3rd round stimulus was paid to you in advance and the IRS recognized this fact thus not allowing you to claim the extra credit. Please view this IRS link to find out if the third payment was made by following the directions listed below.

In this link, the IRS specifies that you can find the amount of the third payment, create or view your online account or refer to IRS Notice 1444-C, which we mailed after sending your payment. We’re also sending Letter 6475 through March 2022 confirming the total amount of the third Economic Impact Payment and any plus-up payments you were issued for tax year 2021. You can also securely access your individual tax information with an IRS online account to view your total Economic Impact Payment amounts under the 2021 tax year tab

If you didn't get the IRS letter 6475 saying what they sent you then check your bank statements or Check your IRS account (both accounts if married)

Your Online Account | Internal Revenue Service

If the IRS thinks they sent it to you but you didn't get it request a trace for a missing third Stimulus payment
