After you file

Did you mail with tracking service to verify that the IRS received it?

Are you getting a refund of did you owe?

 

What does the IRS website say?

You can check the IRS Where's My Refund website:
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

 

If you e-file AND the IRS receives a paper return then both will get flagged for review which can delay everything for many months.
