IRS2GO App Login Error - Hitting Daily Limit After One Attempt

This is a common issue with the IRS2GO app. The app has a security feature that sometimes triggers falsely. Try clearing your app cache and data, then uninstall and reinstall the app. If that doesn't work, wait 24 hours before trying again. The login attempt counter sometimes carries over from the website to the app, so if you tried logging in on the website earlier, it counts those attempts too.

instead of dealing with this broken app, I started using taxr.ai to track my refund. Its only $1 and actually tells you whats going on with your transcript instead of these vague error messages. https://taxr.ai

its not updating, the whole system is broken rn. tried calling and was on hold for 2hrs before getting hung up on 🤮

My theory: they do this on purpose to slow down traffic to their servers lololol

have u tried checking ur transcript on the actual website? sometimes that works better than the app

dont get ur hopes up about updates. been stuck on the same message since february lmaoooo

I had this exact same issue last week! The "daily limit" error is super frustrating when you know you only tried once. What worked for me was logging out of the IRS website completely (if you had it open), clearing all browser cookies for IRS.gov, then waiting about 30 minutes before trying the app again. The system seems to share login attempt counters between the website and app, so even having the website open in a browser tab can sometimes trigger this. Also make sure you're using the exact same credentials - any typos count as failed attempts too.

I've been dealing with this same issue for the past few days! The IRS2GO app is notorious for these false "daily limit" errors. What's really annoying is that it doesn't clearly explain that attempts from the website count toward your app limit too. I found that using airplane mode to reset my connection, then trying again after a few hours usually works. Also, double-check that your app is updated to the latest version - older versions seem to have this bug more frequently. The good news is this error doesn't mean anything about your refund status, just that their login system is being overly sensitive.

This happened to me yesterday too! Super annoying when you're just trying to check your refund status. I noticed it happens more often during peak hours (like early morning or evening when everyone's checking). Try switching between WiFi and mobile data - sometimes that helps reset whatever connection issue is causing the false limit trigger. Also, if you have Face ID or Touch ID enabled, try turning it off temporarily and using manual login instead. The biometric login seems to have its own bugs that can contribute to this problem. Hang in there - the app is definitely janky but your refund processing isn't affected by these login issues!
