Mine was paper can you check on it

If you mailed your federal tax return and you have a tax refund the status of the refund will be on the IRS tax refund status website - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

Do not mail or e-file the same tax return again as it will only cause confusion and delay any refund for months.

No one can check on your refund for you.  Do you mean you filed by mail?   It takes a lot longer for the IRS to process mailed returns.   All you can do is watch the IRS refund site for information.  

 

urboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.
