IRS2Go App Shows "Exceeded Daily Limit" Error When Checking 2024 Refund Status - Anyone Else?
Getting so frusterated with the IRS app. Been trying to check my refund status all morning but keep getting error messages. Is the app down or is it just me? Tried restarting my phone and everything. I keep using the IRS2Go app to check my refund status for my 2024 tax return. I enter all the required information exactly as shown on my tax return. For the SSN field, I enter my last 4 digits - 8160. But then I get this frustrating error message that says "You have exceeded the daily limit on inquiries. Please try again tomorrow" with just an "OK" button. I've tried multiple times, restarted my phone, checked that I have good signal (showing 5GUC with 31% battery), but keep hitting this wall. The app shows all the typical features - Refunds, Payments, Tax Help, Connect buttons at the bottom, and even the Accessibility and Privacy Notice links - but I can't get past this error to actually see my refund status. Is the IRS system down today or is there actually a strict limit on how many times you can check? I filled my taxes weeks ago and just want to know where my money is! Anyone else having this issue with IRS2Go today?

The IRS app has been having widespread issues today. Their servers are probably overwhelmed since its tax season and everyone's checking their refunds. Try using the website instead at irs.gov/refunds

Instead of dealing with buggy apps and websites, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund. Its only $4.99 but gives way more detailed info than the IRS tools. Plus it actually works lol https://taxr.ai

100% legit! You just upload your transcript and it breaks everything down. Shows exactly whats happening with your refund

@Amara Okafor this is actually solid advice! I tried at like 6am yesterday and got through instantly. Peak hours are def the worst time to check
