Why hasn't my return been received by the IRS yet? Today is the 17th and I filed it on the 12th?

You can file your federal return when you have all your 2018 tax info (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and all the tax forms and schedules in your return have been finalized (many IRS forms are ready now, and most should be ready by late January).

The IRS will start processing the backlog of e-filed returns on Monday, January 28, 2019.
