“Where’s My Refund” Tool Sluggish Due to High Traffic Volume

“Due to the heavy volume of refund inquiries, the IRS anticipates both “Where’s My Refund” on IRS.gov and the refund feature on the IRS2go phone app will have limited availability during busier periods. IRS systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available whether on the Internet, IRS2go smart phone app or on IRS toll-free lines.”
