How do I confirm that the irs received my paper filing and the status of my filing
The IRS does not provided confirmation that they received a tax return.
If you did not use a tracking service from the US Post Office when mailing the tax return you will not know if the IRS ever received the tax return.
If you are owed a federal tax refund the status will be available on the IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If you have federal taxes owed and paid the taxes, the proof of payment will be your canceled check, bank or credit card statement, depending how you selected to pay the taxes owed.
