Why does the irs website say my information doesn’t match when I go to look up my refund I filed over 3 days ago and it says they accepted my return

Did you figured out what was going on?

To track your Federal refund, visit the Where’s My Federal Refund? site.  You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status

Note: You will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund.

After your return has been accepted, wait 24 hours before checking your status on the IRS website. Be sure when checking Where’s My Federal Refund? site that you are entering only your Federal refund amount. This can be found on your Federal form 1040, line 21a.  If you paid any fees out of your federal refund, use the refund figure prior to the deduction of he fees. Also, if you filed joint, be sure to enter the filers name that appears first on the return.

Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)?

As of today, My information does not match.  I have no idea what's  going on maybe it's a glitch in the IRS system hopefully it will be fixed soon

No not yet someone from this page sent me a message that says the system is being accessed too many times and that its causing delays in the information. I called the IRS I know they were closed today but the automated system told me that my refund was processing so I'm guessing it's a waiting game. If nothing changes I'll call again Tomorrow.

No not yet. I’m scared though cause I just my status to go back to normal. And I really really need my refund cause I’m using it for a down payment on a house. I can’t possibly see why it is saying that. But that tax specialist lady is right. Maybe it’s just lagg from too many people getting on.

What’s the number to the automated system?

Hey from what I heard it’s just lagg. Too many people accessing the system. Omg I hope that awful status goes away. I hate not knowing if everything is alright.

Why does the irs website say my information doesn’t match when I go to look up my refund I filed over 3 days ago and it says they accepted my return

This is normal. TurboTax updates what stage your return is in and the IRS site updates when you can expect your refund:

  • E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in.
  • Refund status is when you can expect your refund. 

Once your tax return has been submitted, the most up to date information will come from the IRS.

It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update. Until the IRS starts processing it on their own, you may not find a record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates.

Idk like literally it is still saying the same thing. I’ve been using turbo tax for 7 years and have never had that status before. I just pray that what people are saying about it just being lagg or it is just in the process of being sent to me. Cause I cannot possibly see how or why it would say I’m putting my info in wrong when I am I fact, not. But I’m gonna check at 4 am tomorrow that’s what time I wake up for work and hopefully it’ll be saying something different.

Hey call the automated irs hotline. I legit just called it and it says processing. Even though the online thing says I’ve entered my info wrong, the automated says it’s processing. Phew my mind is eased.
