2017?  And you are just now asking about it?  If you filed IN 2017--are you asking about your 2016 tax return---or do you mean the 2017 return you would have filed in 2018?

 

At this point--you have to contact the IRS to find out.

 

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Another thing for you to try--see if the IRS has a transcript for a tax return you filed.  It is possible you did not really file it--it may have been rejected and you did not notice.  (Although most people would notice not receiving over $1800.)   If you filed they will have a transcript.

 

 

You can get a free transcript from the IRS:
