Paper return. No updates

    Best answer by CarissaM

    If you mailed in your return, the IRS asks you wait 4 weeks before checking on the status of your return. 

    You can check the status of your return on the Where' My Refund website, 

    https://www.irs.gov/refunds.

    When you mail a tax return, it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it. When you mail your tax return, wait about 4 weeks and then check the IRS site:
