If you already got your previous stimulus payments, this might be the reason.
By clicking that button you are essentially saying you got them.
If you did not already get them, you would not click on that.
There is something in taxes this year that is supposed to help people who have not yet received their stimulus so I am assuming that before it must have been factoring that in but when you clicked that you have already received them, that is why your return was lowered.
Recovery Rebate Credit is what it's called. If you did not get the second stim payments they will add it to your refund. Be aware if you filed and claimed the credit then receive your stimulus prior to the IRS processing your return they will deduct it before releasing your refund.
