Question

How to check the federal refund and ITIN application status? I mailed the completed return with the ITIN application in mid April. I got state return but not federal yet.

Filed a joint return with my wife's ITIN application. I mailed the return after verifying with licensed agent.

Assuming you mailed your federal return to the IRS and not to your state, here is where you check the status of your refund: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If you accidentally mailed your federal return to your state, the state will not forward it to the IRS.

I believe that’s what happened. When I check the refund status either online or on call there is absolutely no information. The only reason I had to mail in the return is I was applying for ITIN for my wife. So, I went to the federal licensed agent. The put the mailing addresses. I had 3 packages, one for federal, one for state, one for local. I have heard back from both state and local but not federal. What should I do now? Is it okay to mail in the return one more time? This is just crazy...

The ITIN app + 1040 needed to be mailed to the ITIN app address and not directly to the IRS.

And how could you file a state or local return without the ITIN? You should have put them on extension and only filed when the ITIN was issued.
