i did receive third stimulus check of 1400 dollars so my tax refund was reduced to 1221 dollars then i received another letter stating that an error was made on recovery rebate credit the refund was reduced to 131 dollars. i checked recovery rebate credit is at 1400 can you explain that

If your refund is short $1,400 then that is because you said you did NOT receive the 3rd stimulus payment and the IRS has records that show you were sent the 3rd stimulus payment so they removed the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit that was entered on Form 1040 Line 30.

 

The Recovery Rebate Credit on Line 30 is only if you did NOT receive the 3rd stimulus payment.
