Refund / ITIN processing

[Amihilek]

So it’s been a little over 4 weeks since I filed my taxes and am expecting a return. My wife is from Poland and we were married last September. So we are filing married jointly and she has no SSN yet (Green Card Applied For) so we attached her W7 for her ITIN. 

I can’t seem to get any updates as to whether it’s even been received or processed etc... I’ve read that this could take ages for us to even expect our return. 

My question is, am I really going to have to wait 10-14 weeks before we see a return?

It could take as long as 11 weeks to process after you've mailed your W-7 form (ITIN application or renewal). Please see the TurboTax FAQ below, for more information:

How long does it take to renew my ITIN?

You can monitor your refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

If you paper filed, the IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund?.
