It's been 18 weeks since the IRS received my paper filing (I sent it certified so I know the date they received it). Everyone else I know who filed paper returns have received their refunds or some correspondence from the IRS by now. I checked "Where's My Refund" online and there is no information listed. I know the IRS is understaffed, but I'm concerned that my return may have been lost. How can I check if they even have my return?
