Return Receipt

Per TT, needed to file by mail. Mailed return 2/16/21. Per "Where's my Refund" there is nothing. With problems with USPS, how do I know they have received my return, let alone processed my refund. Is there someone to contact?

How is this helpful? IRS response says nothing.

It is frustrating not knowing if the IRS received your return. Due to COVID-19, the IRS expects delays for paper returns. Usually, the IRS says to allow 4 weeks before checking the status of your refund and that refund processing can take 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your return.

With all the programming changes due to the American Rescue Plan Act, I would expect closer to a 6-7 week window to start checking for your refund status. If you mailed your on 2/16, lets assume the IRS received it on 2/20. 6 weeks would put it at around the 1st week of April before processing would begin. I would start checking "Where's my Refund" the 1st or 2nd week of April.
