After you file

You will have to continue to check the status on the IRS's Where's My Refund site for a deposit (or check mailed) date. They should update status there once they are done with processing your return. 

The IRS states that it may take up to 9 weeks to process returns once you have verified your identity. If after 9 weeks you don't hear anything, you will call them at the IRS tax refund hotline at 800-829-4477, Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Or, call the 24-hour ­assistance number at 800-829-1040.
