Question

Why is my stimulus refund being held for back taxes? I was under the impression that I would receive a stimulus refund regardless of back taxes. Is there any recourse?

I received my first payment and I was under the impression that owing back taxes would not affect stimulus payment

The recovery rebate credit is a credit against tax owed, so the IRS can use it to pay the tax you owed from a past year. They will send you a letter in the next several weeks.
