Are my income taxes and my stimulus conjoined into one check? Because I never had my stimulus. I filed my taxes and they gave me $1848 1200 600 but is the $48 my taxes?

I never received the first stimulus checks. So when I filed my taxes TurboTax added the $1200 from the first stimulus and the $600 from the second it then said my tax return is $1848 but I wanted to know is the $48 what I paid in taxes? Or am I missing the money that I paid for in taxes?

The $48 would be your refund before the stimulus credit.

If you see $1,800 on line 30 of your form 1040, then this is the Recovery rebate credit (for your two missed stimulus payments). This amount is included in your refund amount.

 

So if your refund amount is $1,848 including the $1,800 Recovery rebate credit, then your 'normal' tax return is $48.

The Recovery rebate credit on line 30 is included in your refund or reduced a tax due.  Did the IRS send you the 1848 yet?  So the 48 would be your regular refund without the Stimulus payments.
