WMR & IRS.gov locked me out - too many login attempts for 2023 refund status

Been trying to check my refund status all day but keep getting locked out of both Where's My Refund and the IRS website. I know for sure I'm putting in the right info but it keeps saying I exceeded too many tries and to check back tomorrow. Anyone else dealing with this rn?

This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized access attempts. Wait 24 hours before trying again. Make sure you're entering EXACT numbers from your tax return - the refund amount needs to be precise to the dollar. Also double check you're using the right filing status and SSN.

I get the frustration, but the lockout is actually protecting your info. Take a deep breath and try again tomorrow 👍

Instead of stressing about WMR, I started using taxr.ai - it analyzes your actual transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. Its only $1 and way more accurate than WMR. https://taxr.ai

IRS systems been extra glitchy lately. I work at a tax office and we've seen tons of clients with the same issue. Usually resolves itself after 24hrs

Been there! The lockout is super annoying but it's usually because the system is being extra sensitive. Make sure you're using the EXACT refund amount from line 35a of your 1040 (not what you think you'll get). Also try using a different browser or clearing your cache - sometimes that helps with the login issues.
