I didnt recieve a 1st or 2nd stimulus check just the 3rd, is that why I'd owe $1,000 to IRS?

I owe $1,000 and last year I received about that much. I work for the same two employers I did last year, I just worked more. I also received a small unemployment check but last year I had received 4x that amount in unemployment, It would make more sense if I were gaining more than last tax season considering I was unemployed for a smaller amount of time and worked more hours than last season too.

According to this IRS FAQ, if you did not receive the first and second stimulus checks, 

 

You may be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit based on your 2020 tax information. 

 

You must file a 2020 tax return to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit, even if you don’t usually file a tax return.

 

Did you receive these credits on your 2020 tax return?
