Can someone help me with this. The IRS didn't pay my recovery rebate credit but it shows in my IRS acct as cd 766 credit w a 4/15 date. I got my tax refund though.

The IRS issued my refund 3 weeks after I filed so I am wondering why they haven't paid the rebate credit.

Please be aware that the Recovery Rebate Credit from line 30 was included in your total refund on line 34 of Form 1040.

 

If you got a lower refund then shown then the IRS might have different records about your stimulus payment received. 

 

If you received Notice 1444 in the mail but have not received your payment as mentioned in the notice, then you need to request a trace to be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. Please see How do I request a payment trace to track my first or second Economic Impact Payments?

 

 

Also, you can call 1-800-304-3107 to find out if you had an offset that affected your tax refund. Please see Treasury Offset Program  for additional information.

Turbo tax didn't include the recovery rebate in my total. They only stated tax refund on line 34 and put the recovery rebate credit on line 30 of my 1040. 

 

I will request a payment trace to track the missing EIP and I do not have an offset too. 

 

This is helpful. Thank you.

If there is a Recovery Rebate Credit on the Form 1040 Line 30, that credit is either included in your federal tax refund or it reduces the amount for federal taxes owed.
