I had to mail my return in this year, it's been 2 weeks and yesterday it showed received on wmr. How long does it take to be approved?

I had to mail my federal return this year. I put tracking on it so i know it got to the IRS on Feb 9th 2017. Yesterday exactly 2 weeks after my taxes got to the irs i checked wmr and it says received. How long will it take to be approved? Will it be longer because I had to mail my return this year instead of efile? I'm getting it direct deposit so i at least don't have to wait on a check!

Had a question. I know this was last year but do you remember how long it took to get your return after it showed accepted.

I mailed mine and put tracking on it it got to irs on feb 6th 2018. I called today and they said that they received it on feb 16th 2018 and i had to wait 6-8 weeks for it to process,will it feally take that long?? Keep me posted

Mine showed accepted on the 23rd 2 weeks after the ot showed received through tracking from USPS. It showed refund approved 2 days after and shows refund expected March 1st.
