After you file

If you are not seeing a status at all on the IRS website and its over 4 weeks, you should contact the IRS.
To contact the IRS:  1-800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.  
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info).  Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".   
Press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."  
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.  
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.
