Use this address when you want to connect to your network from other places on the Internet.nstructions. Launch a Web browser. Navigate to a site that displays your public IP address, such as MyIPAddress.com (myipaddress.com), WhatIsMyIP.com (whatismyip.com) or Foursquare Innovations (foursquareinnovations.co.uk/IP.php).
You'll also receive an e-mail confirmation directly from the IRS. However, if you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS recommends that you wait three weeks before you begin checking your refund status. Most taxpayers who e-file will receive their tax refund sooner. Step 2 - Obtain a copy of your tax return.
So you mailed in your amended return and you're anxously waiting for you refund but don't know where it is in the IRS process. If you filed an amended return and it's been more than three weeks since you mailed it to the IRS, you can check the status on a new tool offered on the irs.gov web site.
