WMR System Maintenance: Don't overload IRS website tonight - Updates likely Tuesday after MLK Day
Heads up about the path update tonight - since tomorrow is a holiday the IRS offices are closed. Most people won't see any updates until Tuesday at earliest. If you keep refreshing and checking your account repeatedly, you'll get locked out for 24-48 hours. Just trying to save everyone the headache and stress.

This is correct. The IRS system maintenance typically happens overnight, but with the federal holiday tomorrow, any updates won't be processed until Tuesday. Multiple login attempts can trigger the security lockout - its best to check once in the morning and once at night maximum.

Pro tip: Instead of obsessively checking WMR, I've been using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It costs $1 but gives you super detailed info about your refund status and exactly what to expect. Way better than getting locked out of your account! https://taxr.ai

How accurate is it? Does it actually tell you stuff the WMR doesnt show?

omg yes! It basically reads all the codes and dates on your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening. It caught a freeze code I didnt even know about and told me how to fix it!
