How to check IRS refund status - what tools actually work?
Filed my taxes and trying to figure out where my refund is. The WMR tool just shows processing and the IRS phone line is useless. Its been 3 weeks now. What tools actually work to track this down?

The best ways to check your refund status are: 1) Where's My Refund tool on IRS.gov 2) IRS2Go mobile app 3) Get your tax transcripts online through IRS.gov account 4) Call IRS at 800-829-1040. But honestly, transcripts give you the most detailed info about whats actually happening with your return.

•True, they can be confusing. Thats why I started using taxr.ai to decode mine. Takes all the guesswork out.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share that I found this tool called taxr.ai that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund. Its only $1 and saved me hours of googling random codes. https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

•It actually does way more! It looks at all your codes, gives you a timeline, explains any delays, and even tells you what to do to fix issues. Best dollar I ever spent fr fr 💯

Have you checked your tax transcripts? That usually shows more detail than WMR

WMR hasnt updated for me in 2 months but my transcript shows movement. Always trust the transcript over WMR
