As the IRS indicated, they are reconciling refunds with stimulus payments and the Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on your return. If you do not know the amounts of your stimulus payment, refer to notice 1444-C or visit the IRS website.
Review your Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet in your PDF (last page of federal return) if you have any questions about the amount of Recovery Rebate Credit generated on your return.
The Recovery Rebate Credit worksheet is populated based on your answers, the filing status, dependents on the return and social security numbers.

What if the IRS adjusts my return for the RRC and it is incorrect?
If you did not receive the stimulus payment as the IRS has suggested, you will disagree with the notice (when you get it) so the IRS can track the stimulus payment to determine where it was sent. The notice indicates you should call them at 800-829-0922 to review the account with a representative. Have a copy of your tax return available when you call.
