I filed by Mail. I figured it would take awhile because of Covid-19, but my state tax was filed and accepted a week later. Still no word from federal. I’m using the amount I’m supposed to use from my 1040 form when I check the tool on the IRS website.
Oh, if you filed by mail, that makes a huge difference. For the last several weeks, the IRS has not been processing paper returns at all and instead has been storing them in bins and trailers. They may have recently started processing some, but there will be a huge backlog. The IRS has warned people not to file a second return. That can further complicate/delay things.
All you can do, at least for now, is occasionally check the IRS WMR tool to see when it is logged into their system.
