I mailed in my taxes

Congratulations! You've taken care of your taxes!

Now, all you can do is wait for the IRS to process your return. Here's what you can expect:

1. Processing time: The IRS typically takes 6-8 weeks to process individual tax returns. However, this time frame can vary depending on the complexity of your return, the workload of the IRS, and whether you're claiming any refunds or credits.
2. Refund: If you're due a refund, you can track its status using the IRS's "Where's My Refund?" tool on their website or by calling the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1040.
3. Audit: The IRS may select your return for audit, which can happen at any time. If this happens, you'll receive a letter or phone call from the IRS requesting additional information or documentation.
4. Correspondence: If the IRS needs more information or clarification on your return, they may send you a letter or request additional documentation.

In the meantime, you can:

• Check your email and mailbox regularly for any correspondence from the IRS.
• Keep an eye on your bank account for any direct deposits or checks.
• Review your return to ensure everything is accurate and complete.

Remember, it's always a good idea to keep a copy of your tax return and supporting documents in case you need to refer back to them.
