I recently haven't been able to track my refund thru the irs website. It gives me an error page and says I am not permitted access?

I was able to track less than 4 days ago. Now I can't access thee tracking page.

If the IRS is saying you can't track your return, there are some reasons why you aren't seeing the status of your return yet.

Here are the usual reasons:

• Your e-filed return was accepted (received) by the IRS less than 24 hours ago.
  • Make sure you wait at least 24 hours after acceptance before using WMR.
• Your return is still pending.
• You never e-filed.
  • You can quickly find out by checking your status.
  • If you don't see a status, go through the File section again all the way to the end and be sure to click the green Transmit Returns Now button.
• You mailed your return less than 4 weeks ago.
  • WMR asks that paper-filers wait 4 weeks before using WMR.
• WMR is getting hit hard by early filers, especially in late January or early February.
  • You can try calling the WMR automated hotline instead: 1-800-829-1954.

If you look too often the program will also lock you out but don't worry ... not showing up from time to time is nothing bad ... the WMR?  tool has always been buggy.
