I mailed in my taxes how long will it take

The processing time for mailed tax returns can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your return, the workload of the IRS, and the method of delivery. Here are some general guidelines:

Simple Returns:

• If you filed a simple return (Form 1040A or 1040EZ) with no attachments, it typically takes 6-8 weeks to process.
• If you filed a simple return with attachments, it may take 8-12 weeks to process.

Complex Returns:

• If you filed a complex return (Form 1040 with schedules and attachments) it may take 8-12 weeks to process.
• If you filed a complex return with additional issues, such as audits or disputes, it may take 12-16 weeks or longer to process.

Refunds:

• If you're due a refund, the IRS typically issues refunds within 6-8 weeks after receiving your return.
• If you chose to have your refund direct deposited into your bank account, it may take 1-2 weeks longer to receive your refund.

Delays:

• If your return is incomplete or requires additional information, it may take longer to process.
• If you filed a return with errors or discrepancies, it may take longer to process.
• If you're a victim of identity theft or fraud, it may take longer to process your return.

Check the Status:

• You can check the status of your return online through the IRS's "Where's My Refund?" tool or by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
• You can also check the status of your return by using the IRS2Go mobile app.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and processing times may vary depending on your specific situation. If you have any concerns or questions, it's always a good idea to contact the IRS or consult with a tax professional.
