Where's My Refund not working - alternative ways to check IRS refund status?
Where's My Refund isn't showing any info for my refund status. Been trying for days and keep getting no results. Anyone know other ways to check? Really need this money and getting worried.

The best way to check your refund status is through your IRS transcript. Go to IRS.gov, create an account if you haven't already, and look up your account transcript or wage/income transcript. It'll show way more detail than WMR ever will about what's happening with your return.

•You'll need your SSN, email, phone number, and either a credit card, mortgage, or auto loan number for verification. If those don't work, they'll mail you a code.

Hey guys, I've been using taxr.ai to check my transcripts and it's been a game changer fr fr. It costs $1 but it breaks down everything in plain English and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund. Way better than playing detective with those confusing transcript codes lol https://taxr.ai

•No cap! It literally saved me hours of googling random codes. It told me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it 💯

Call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. Fair warning tho the wait times are insane rn

try checking early morning or late night. WMR updates around 3am EST daily. Sometimes the site just gets overloaded during peak hours
