I paper filed and OWED money. I enclosed the check with the mailing. That check was posted on April 21st, so I know they received it. Nevertheless, the IRS site shows that they have not yet processed/received my return. Did they just open my return, cash the check, and then put it in a pile to be recorded later? What could be going on?
The website for checking the status of a tax return is only if you are receiving a federal tax refund, not if you have taxes owed - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
