It can take four weeks or more for a human at the IRS to open your mailed return. Nothing is ever going to show up on the refund site for 2020----that refund has been forfeited and will never be paid even if the Form 1040 shows a refund. For the couple of years the refund site has shown information for the current year--which will be 2024, and the two years prior---which would be 2023 and 2022. Not sure if it will show anything for 2021 this year or not.
In order to use the refund site, you need your SSN, filing status, and the refund amount shown on line 35a

You can use the return receipt for the certified mail to show that you sent the returns and that they were received at the destination. And....try checking your IRS online account or check for transcripts---but do not expect those to show up quickly if you just mailed these very recently. It could be a month or more before you see anything at all at the IRS for these returns.
Try checking your online account with the IRS (and if you filed a joint return—check for BOTH of you)
