You can check the status of your refund expected from a mailed tax return at least 4 weeks after it has been mailed to the IRS. It takes a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks for the IRS to receive and process a return that has been mailed. However, given the current situation with the corona virus pandemic, it will take even longer because the IRS has not been accepting mailed returns for quite some time.
Be extra patient and take a look at the information in the following TurboTax article:
Where's My Tax Refund? How to check your refund status

With regard to your stimulus payment, you should electronically file your 2019 return as soon as you can so that the stimulus payment can be based on your 2019 tax return instead of the 2018 one that will take much longer to process. Once the 2019 return has been fully processed, then the 'Get My Payment' tool will update with the status of your stimulus payment.
