After you file

Your return was considered filed when you printed it out and mailed it in.  Therefore, trying to electronically file could have resulted in additional delays processing your return.  

 

The IRS has been taking longer than normal to process mailed returns so you may have to wait a bit longer for them to process your return.

 

Please see the links below for more information.
