After you file

MAILED RETURNS

Per the IRS website IRS Operations During COVID-19: Mission-critical functions continueThe IRS is not currently able to process individual paper tax returns. If you already have filed via paper but it has not yet been processed, do not file a second tax return or write to the IRS to inquire about the status of your return or your economic impact payment. Paper returns will be processed  once processing centers are able to reopen. 

 

If you owed tax due and included a payment with your mailed return, you are okay since the envelope was postmarked before the filing deadline.  If you are getting a refund, you simply have to wait for the IRS to get around to opening all the mail.  Sorry.
