After you file

If you file your return via mail it could take 6 weeks or more for the IRS to process your return.  This is from the IRS Where's My Refund Site:

 

 

The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, although some require additional time. You should only call if it has been:

  • 21 days or more since you e-filed
  • 6 weeks or more since you mailed your return, or when
  • "Where's My Refund" tells you to contact the IRS

Here is a link to the Where's my Refund Page: Where's my Refund

 

It can take 8 weeks for more for IRS to process Amended Returns.
