Paper file wait time

[bz2332]

Hi!

I downloaded the return provided and signed the name date. I mailed the return a couple weeks ago, but there’s still no status on Where’s my refund tracker. Do you know how I need to wait until IRS receives it and update my refund status?

I'll assume you physically mailed the return since TurboTax does not mail it for you.  It can take at least 4 weeks for a mailed paper return to show up in the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool (maybe longer if there's any backlog.)
