filing taxes

If you just mailed your tax returns in a few days ago you are going to be waiting at least four weeks or maybe longer before you see anything on the IRS refund site.

MAILED RETURNS

 It can take 3-4 weeks for anything to show up on the IRS site when you mail a tax return.  Expect 6-8 weeks for complete processing of a mailed return.

If  you mail a tax return (or a payment) to the IRS, it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail so you will know it was received.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. 

TurboTax will not know anything about your mailed return, and will continue to show “Ready to Mail” on your account.  TurboTax will not know that you put your tax return in an envelope and took it to a mailbox.  TurboTax does not get updates on mailed  (or e-filed) returns.

When the IRS opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds

State returns have to be mailed to the state.

As for the stimulus check your parents  received it is quite possible that the IRS looked at their 2019 return on which you were a dependent and used that return to issue a stimulus check to them.

Since you filed a joint return for 2020 when the IRS finally processes it, they will likely issue a stimulus check to your and your new spouse.  But do not expect it soon----it takes at least 8 weeks for the IRS to fully process a mailed return, and might take longer than that now since they are very backlogged.

Well then why did my parents receive my stimulus when i’m 18 and they didn’t fill me, they just got the $1400 which is not right.
