Do not mail it again. The IRS is behind on updating their website. The IRS is taking a long time this year.  Plan on 6 months or more.  All you can do is be patient and keep waiting.  Even efiled returns are taking 6 months.  

 

The IRS is still processing 2020 returns.  As of June 21, 2022 the IRS is almost done processing 2020 returns, filed in 2021.  See,

@catz6469 - the IRS is woefully backlogged, especially on paper filed return.  At noted, assume it will be 6-9 months from the time you filed until the return is processed.  you won't be able to see anything on WMR until they begin processing the return.

 

Suggest checking weekly.
