Your stimulus did not lower the tax refund you should be getting.

 

 

You might have become confused by the flow of information in the software.   That "refund monitor" on your screen displays a "refund" amount that includes the stimulus money. as part of your 2020 refund.  The software starts off by giving you the stimulus money.   But later when you enter the amount of stimulus you really received already, it removes the stimulus already given to you.   And it looks to you like you "lost" your refund,   But ---you do not get the same stimulus money twice--that is why it came out.

 

 

 

Look on line 30 of your Form 1040 for your recovery rebate amount.

Mine did the same when i was done filling it said $3822 after adding the recovery rebate it said $5422 because i had a baby and i still only had the original $3822 deposited into my account they never added the recovery.
