IRS Website Error: "Audit Status Unavailable" After 2 Months & Can't Get Through On Phone

I got a letter about an audit 2 months ago but when I check my transcripts online nothing shows up. Today I tried to check my audit status on the IRS website and I'm getting an error message that says "Audit Status Unavailable - We are unable to load your audit status. Please try again later." The website also says "The information provided below is based on our current data. Please note, audits conducted by mail are the only type of audits available at this time. For more specific details, please refer to the letters you have received." I've called the IRS 6 times and always get disconnected. Getting really frustrated cause I need to know what's going on with my refund. I check at different times of day but keep getting the same error message. There's a section that says "Frequently Asked Questions About Audits" but that doesn't help me figure out why my specific audit info isn't showing up in the system. Anyone else having this issue with the Audit Status page? Is the website broken or something? I'm trying to be patient but it's been 2 months since I got that letter, and I can't get through on the phone either.

The transcript system doesn't always show audit info right away. Sometimes it takes 30-60 days to update in the system after you receive the initial letter. What code do you see on your account transcript for 2023?

That's actually pretty common during the initial audit phase. The system is ancient tbh 🤦‍♂️

Hey ive been using taxr.ai to track my audit and its been super helpful. Its only $4.99 and the AI reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and what to expect next. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself https://taxr.ai

100% legit! They use bank-level encryption and don't store your docs. The analysis is amazing - shows you everything in plain english

You need to send a certified letter requesting audit status. They legally have to respond within 30 days. Make sure to include your case number from the original audit letter.
