Do nothing for now. The IRS says it will fix tax returns with the wrong stimulus amount as long as you put in something other than $0.

 

You should get a smaller refund (or maybe owe tax) if you claimed too much stimulus. You would get more back f you claimed too little.

 

The IRS will send a letter explaining the change, but it won’t come for a while after you receive your refund.

 

If the IRS does not fix your return, you can amend it.
