After you file

It may be months before you receive your refund if you mailed your return.  The IRS stated they still had 2.4 million individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline in March. They are holding 29 million 2020 tax returns for manual processing that were e-filed.  It is not surprising that your return is not yet in the system.
