I mailed my Federal tax returns. It's been 2 weeks since it has been delivered by USPS. However, I still can't find my refund status on the IRS website.

How long does it take for any status update on the IRS website?
Best answer by ToddL99

According to the IRS , it takes 4 weeks before the status of a paper tax return gets posted to the  Where’s My Refund? site.

 

Paper returns take significantly longer to process than e-filed returns. The status of your electronically filed tax return is posted twenty-four hours after received by the IRS.
