I'm getting a refund back from Federal. But my stimulus amount isn't showing up with my regular refund amount. Why is that?

I'm talking about the amount it shows at the top of TurboTax. Where it says federal refund. It shows I'm getting a refund but the amount doesn't include my stimulus amount I'm getting back.

Were you eligible to receive a stimulus payment based on the 2020 Federal tax return.  Did you indicate you were a dependent?

Did you complete the stimulus questions in the Federal Review section of the program?

Look at your tax return Form 1040 Line 30.  Is there an amount entered?  If so, how much?

It's me and my husband that are filling a joint return. We got stimulus last year. I'm talking about stimulus this year. We should be getting 1200 dollars total from stimulus. So shouldn't it show on refund amount 1200+ what ever we are getting back from Federal? So say we are getting back 240 from Federal and then the 1200 stimulus. Which equals to 1640. So would our amount show Total 1640 instead of just 240?
