Will I get a status on my return if I mailed it in? They've cashed my check, but I'm not sure if it's been accepted.

There is no way for you to track the status of the IRS processing a tax return when you are not getting a refund. All mailed tax returns are accepted but they still must process it to verify that they agree with everything on your return as filed. They will send you a notice if they need more information or make an adjustment on your return for some reason.

If your check was cashed, they accepted and processed your return.  They do not send you a thank you note.

Baaahahaha! This made me giggle. Well they might not send me a thank you note, but I sure as hell hope they send me a stimulus check!

 

Thanks for your help 🙂

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

 

If you used the non-filer site, you will not be able to e-file a 2019 return after using the non-filer site.

 

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.
