I mailed in my tax documents March 25th, 2019 and It is now April 6th, 2019. I know this is early but I'm nervous. Can I send the docs again? Would that help?

When you mail a tax return, it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it. When you mail your tax return, wait about 4 weeks and then check the IRS site:

Don't worry. We have your back.

No, I do not advise mailing your documents again.

Mailing again will only add to the confusion and possibly delay the processing of your return even more.

I know you are nervous, but the IRS is always busy this time of year and started the tax season behind because of the shutdown. 

Follow this link for a tool to check, but don't worry if it takes more time for the return to appear in the IRS system:

Do you mean your Refund? When will you get your refund,
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refund-status/help/when-will-i-get-my-irs-tax-refund/01/25589

Was your return Accepted? First double check your efile status here
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

Then only the IRS can tell you. IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/
Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end. That was for federal and state combined.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?
