I mailed in my return (1040-SR) Feb 29, 2020 and opted for a paper check refund as I've always done. To date my "refund status" on the IRS site indicates no status at all (yes, I entered the information correctly). I don't know if IRS didn't receive the return (got my state refund promptly as always) or if receipt and processing is just a mess right now. Have tried calling the IRS repeatedly to speak to a human, but absolutely no luck.
Question is: Should I/could I try e-filing with direct deposit or would that cause further complication should the IRS finally locate and process my paper return?
BTW I have received my "stimulus" check which I neither need nor want.
