What exactly do you mean by I filed it through mail, and then were informed to mail it on paper? Those two are the SAME thing. Did you print, sign and mail the return yourself? TurboTax does NOT mail your return for you. If you did not do it, it has not been filed. When you mail a tax return to the IRS or your state you should use a mailing service with tracking --like UPS or certified mail so you will know it was received.
TurboTax will not know anything about your mailed return, and will continue to show “Ready to Mail” on your account. TurboTax will not know that you put your tax return in an envelope and took it to a mailbox. TurboTax does not get updates on mailed returns. Wait about 4 weeks from when you mail a return and then you can check the status on the IRS site.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20a of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund on the IRS site.
