After you file

There will not be any sort of notification that the IRS received your return except for whatever you get back from using certified mail.   It can take three or  four weeks after mailing for a human at the IRS to open your envelope and enter your information into the system.  All you can do is watch for information on the IRS refund site.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
