Why was my stimulus payment not included with my federal tax returns? I have not received the third stimulus payment, is it separate ?

How do I check on the third stimulus payment?

You can only get the first 2 Stimulus payments added on to your 2020 return if you didn't get the right amount.  The third stimulus is separate.  You can check it here,
