Question

I was unaware that I had received the third stimulus payment. I filed my taxes and said that I didn't. Turns out I did. What should I do?

If your return has been accepted you will have to wait and see if your refund includes the additional credit for the Recovery Rebate Credit. The IRS might adjust the amount automatically like last year. Please see IRS Recovery Rebate Credit Q D2 What happens if I claim the incorrect amount? for additional information. If not then you will need to amend your return (1040X) and send the funds back to the IRS. Please see How to amend a tax return for instructions (this will be updated once the 2021 Form 1040-X is ready).
