How to learn the status of an estate tax filing for 2017

Wife's father died last year (2016) State Retirement paid a death benefit, which had money with held by both IRS and State of California.  IRS assigned  an estate I.D. Number and that is how the forms were identified and filed. No tax needed to be paid, attempting to get the refunded money, how can I find out the status of the refund, or how long do these things take?
