After you file
If you mailed in your return to the IRS then you have a LONG LONG time to wait ... due to the understaffing and overworked personnel at the IRS again this year mailed in returns could take MONTHS to process or even show up on the WMR? tool.
Due to understaffing and over tasking at the IRS again this year many returns will be delayed for as much as months. The aging computer system is being over taxed trying to process millions of 2019 returns and 2020 returns (some of which will need extra processing this year due to the late tax law changes) AND putting out the third stimulus payments. If you want to vent to someone then contact your local congress person and demand they fund the IRS sufficiently so that they can hire enough people and update their computer systems to handle all of the demands made upon this agency. The IRS can only do so much with the continued reductions to their budget.
