Question

How do I amend my 2021 tax return to say that I did receive my 3rd stimulus check?

I forgot that I actually did receive the 3rd stimulus check and I said I never got it on my taxes. Then after I filed I found out I actually did receive it. So how can I change that on my taxes?

No do not amend.   You just have to wait for the IRS to fix your mistake.   By answering incorrectly about the stimulus amount you received you put an amount on line 30 of your Form 1040.   The IRS checks that line.  They know how much they sent to you.   They will reduce your refund by that amount.   This will delay your refund so expect a wait.

You don't need to.

The IRS will make that correction. 

There is nothing you can do to speed things up, in fact filing an amendment now will make matters worse.
