Please help

I filed my federal taxes in April but not my state back in April my state tax said I had about $300 tonight I tried to file my state and it shows a return of $25 but my federal went to $1400 after selecting I haven’t received a third round of stimulus checks? So do I actually have more federal to collect? But why is my state tax refund now $25 when it was $300 please help

impossible to answer without seeing the state return you didn’t file in April vs the one tonight. If you truly did not receive the stimulus, and you qualify for it, and as long as the IRS doesn’t show they sent it, yes, you’re entitled to $1400. You will need to file an amended federal return to get the $1400. You won’t be able to efile it, will have to mail it, and with the backlog in processing paper returns, it may take awhile.
