Nor would it reduce your refund in any way. It was a tax credit based on best available data at the time it was issued and there was NO second guessing the eligibility later.

The only change could be in your favor. If the government did NOT pay a stimulus to you because available data said you did not qualify HOWEVER when you do your taxes you DO qualify, you would receive a tax credit that "pays" the stimulus to you when you file.

Of course this is the federal government and the IRS. What they said then and what they actually do now are subject to change.
This is also what I've heard and read. My tax preparer is waiting for a few materials, so I'm trying to figure out if I should be rushing to file so I won't get hit next year, though perhaps it's too late either way, since the Senate approved it yesterday...
