WMR Tool Says Info Doesn't Match IRS Records - What's Wrong?

I keep trying to check my refund status on the Where's My Refund tool but it keeps telling me my information doesn't match their records. I triple checked my numbers and everything looks correct on my end. Getting really frustrated since its been 3 weeks since I filed.

Hey there, let me help explain what's happening when WMR says your info doesn't match. This typically means there's a discrepancy between what you entered and what the IRS has on file. Common reasons include typos in your SSN, filing status mismatch, or refund amount differences. Before you stress out, double check everything carefully - even one wrong digit can trigger this error. I actually recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your documents and identify any mismatches. It's super helpful for catching these kinds of issues before they become problems with the IRS.

Tax pro here. This usually means one of three things: 1) You're entering the exact refund amount wrong (make sure you're using the amount from your 1040, not what you think you'll get after offsets), 2) Your SSN might have a typo, or 3) The filing status you're entering doesn't match what you filed. Double check all three.

100% legit. I was skeptical too but it saved me hours of trying to decode my transcript

How exactly does it work? Does it just read the transcript or what?

It uses AI to analyze everything in your transcript and explains it in plain english. Shows processing stages, flags potential delays, even estimates your DD date 💯

in the same boat rn... its so annoying that we cant even check our own tax info without jumping through hoops

Make sure your using the EXACT amount from line 35a on your 1040. Not the amount you actually got deposited
