Please wait at least 24-48 hours after your return has been accepted by the IRS to check your status on www.irs.gov/refunds.

 

If there is no record of your return, or the system says the information is wrong, please make sure you are entering the correct social security number, filing status, and refund amount.

 

To verify your refund amount:

 

If you filed a Form 1040, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 20a.

If you filed a Form 1040NR, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 73a.

If you filed a Form 1040NR-EZ, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 23a.

If you filed a Form 1040PR, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 13a.

If you filed a Form 1040SS, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 13a.

 

To verify your filing status:

 

If you filed a Form 1040, the Filing Status is shown on the top of the form above your name and social security number.

If you filed a Form 1040NR, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Boxes 1 through 6.

If you filed a Form 1040NR-EZ, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Boxes 1 through 2.

If you filed a Form 1040PR, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Part 1 Line 1.

If you filed a Form 1040SS, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Part 1 Line 1.

None of your suggestions work. My efile was accepted on March 13 2020 for 2019 tax year. Every since I filed my status was still pending. I recently received a letter stating that this is a notice of non filing and to contact them for questions. I called the IRS the next day and was told that my return was rejected I asked how can that be because I received notice and status that it was accepted. The IRS rep states that I will have to mail in my return. My status is now showing no information regarding my return can be found. I’m just gone start going back to pen and paper because this is crazy to pay for efile services only to find out months later that the IRS has reversed you accepted return
