If you've chosen to mail your return, the 'status' of your return will not display as
accepted or rejected. Instead, it will display 'ready to mail' to indicate
you've completely finalized your return. Once mailed, you can check the status
of your refund using the Where's My Refund tool on the IRS website. Your
information could take 3 or more weeks to register in the system. https://www.irs.gov/refunds
