@mitulzaveri - given the backlogs at the IRS, figure it will be at least 6 months from the time you paper filed until the return is processed. There will be nothing on the WMR tool at their website until they begin processing the paper. It is otherwise sitting in a box in a warehouse waiting its turn

When did you paper file?

According to the IRS website, they have completed the processing of all returns received through MARCH where there are no errors....and this is November!!!!!

Thank you for the reply.. I had paper filed in March, but there was a missing signature so they sent it back to me for signatures and then I re-filed it in September. I guess I need to wait until Feb / Mar 2023 :(.

I just want to make sure that they have received the same, but nothing is showing up on their website.

@mitulzaveri again, nothing will show up on the website until they actually open the package and scan it; figure that is 3-6 months from September.
