After you file

@Stupidasur3 

 

I just re-read your post---you posted about a 2018 return.   A 2018 return is not going to show up on the IRS refund site.  Only 2019 refunds will show up on that site.  Sorry there are not any good answers to give you-----no one knows where in the pile of envelopes your 2018 return might be or how soon it will surface.  (or if it has surfaced and is being processed).  

 

You can try calling the IRS to see if it has been opened and gone into processing.  

 

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
