After you file

At least you know the IRS received your return and is working on it.   Only the IRS will know what all they are doing.   You can try to find out more info by calling them.

 

IRS: 800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time) Monday-Friday

 

If you get a robot that asks you to speak your issue, just try saying "speak to an agent about my account."   You may have to keep replying with that a couple more times.

 

If you can't get good info by phoning the IRS, or if you are having an economic hardship, you can try to see if the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service will help you.
