I have to mail returns in order to file them. Will I receive notification that the IRS has received them and direct deposit for my refund as well?

The IRS does not notify you when they receive a mailed return, but you can check on the progress of the refund at the link below. For mailed returns, the IRS recommends checking the refund status at 4 weeks.
