After you file

I don't know if this thread from 4 months ago was about a 2017 return or a 2016 return.   In user's other thread he says it is a 2016 return.   If it's 2016, he can't use the efile status check tool, which is only for 2017.   But we don't know when he filed the 2016 return anyway, or if it was printed and mailed instead of efiled.    So between the two threads, it's confusing.   It's not clear what all the user has done.     Maybe this thread from 4 months ago was about a 2017 return, and his new thread is about 2016.
