I filed my federal return 3/2/20 and still no refund. Does anyone know when IRS will be back and begin the refund process. I had sent my return 3/2 as a paper return. I have proof they received it.

MAILED RETURNS
Per the IRS website IRS Operations During COVID-19: Mission-critical functions continue: The IRS is not currently able to process individual paper tax returns. If you already have filed via paper but it has not yet been processed, do not file a second tax return or write to the IRS to inquire about the status of your return or your economic impact payment. Paper returns will be processed once processing centers are able to reopen.
If you mail a tax return (or a payment) to the IRS, it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail so you will know it was received.
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.
TurboTax will not know anything about your mailed return, and will continue to show “Ready to Mail” on your account. TurboTax will not know that you put your tax return in an envelope and took it to a mailbox. TurboTax does not get updates on mailed (or e-filed) returns.
When the IRS finally opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds
State returns have to be mailed to the state.

I have the same problem. IRS and Ca State web sites both say not received/no information. I have tracking showing received.
Thank you. I also had heard on CNN news that the returns were being held in a trailer until IRS opens. I was
hoping someone knew when that process might happen. Guess we just have to be patient.
