I did a paper filling on March 16th and still haven't received a refund. My records also can't be found when using the 'Where's my refund tool'. Anybody else in the same boat? Thanks!


Go to this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue

 

We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.

Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
