Why did your tax preparer mail your return instead of e-filing it? If the tax preparer mailed it did they use a mailing service like certified mail or UPS with tracking so there is proof that the IRS received it? Without that, there is no way to know it was received until it shows up on the IRS refund site. That might take quite awhile because the IRS is severely backlogged. Mailed returns are taking months to be processed.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.
When the IRS opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount of your refund from line 35a of your Form 1040.
State returns have to be mailed to the state.
