After you file

@susanl825 You say you also mailed an amended return -- it is taking much longer now than the "normal" four months for the IRS to process amended returns.  So you will unfortunately have a very long wait for the IRS to process a 1040X.

 

 

When the IRS finally opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site.
