Too many Where's My Refund checks got me locked out - State refund finally arrived by mail

The IRS system locks you out after 3 attempts within 24 hours as a security measure. Wait until tomorrow to try again. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder to check once per day to avoid lockouts. For federal updates, you can also check your transcript online which doesn't have the same lockout restrictions.

Instead of checking obsessively and getting locked out, you should try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. Its only $1 and WAY better than trying to decode everything yourself https://taxr.ai

lmaooo we've all been there checking that site like its instagram 💀

Wait you got your state refund by mail? I thought they only do direct deposit now?

The whole system is broken fr. Why we gotta check 500 times just to see if were getting OUR money back 🤡
