How many covid payments were mailed out in 2021?

I think the question on Turbo Tax regarding the stimulus was did you receive 3 payments. I didn't think I did, but got a letter from the IRS saying I owe more money due to this miscalculation. I only show receiving 1 payment in 2021.
Intuit -  What is the question on the tutorial regarding the stimulus payment if you think you didn't receive it?

There were 3 in total ... the first 2 were reconciled on the 2020 return  and only the third was reconciled on the 2021 return even though the second went out from late 2020 thru early 2021. 

So the program ONLY asked how much you got in advance for the third stimulus payment only ... they went out starting mid march however "plus up" payments continued to be issued thru December so you had to enter the total received even if you got it in pieces.

I think the confusion on was there were what is called 'plus up' payments during 2021 in certain situationsl it only affected a small number of taxpayers, so some taxpayers received 'multiple' payments in 2021.

otherwise, there was just one payment in 2021 that is part of the 2021 tax return and you would have received that in the March - MAy, 2021 timeframe.  Suggest checking your bank account records.

The 2nd stimulus was paid in January, 2021 but that is considered part of the 2020 tax return and does not appear in any of the calcuations for the 2021 tax return,
