Filed 2018 and 2019 4 weeks expecting a refund

Hope you did not combine those in one envelope or on the same tax form. What did you do? The current online program is ONLY for 2019--no other year.

A 2018 return has to be prepared on 2018 forms and then must be printed, signed and mailed--it cannot be e-filed.

Tell us how you filed them so we can advise further.

@Hobbsc114 Mailed tax returns typically take 6-8 weeks for processing. A 2018 return will not be shown on the IRS where's my refund site, so hope you mailed it with tracking so you will know it was received.
