Status of mailed paper return

I mailed in my paper return on April 11 2021. I have been trying to check my status on the IRS website but they do not have a return. Do I need send another return?

No. The IRS says, do not resend your return. They are extremely backlogged and as of May 8, 2021 had 16.9 million returns in the pipeline for processing. It will take some time to see the return show up on Where's My Refund. You can read more about what to expect here
