After you file

No, going on the irs website checking continuously throughout the day is the issue with the site. Its precisely why they are locking out multiple logins a day. You are holding up the system for those who actually need to use it. The same thing people are doing to all the call centers. The IRS website updates ONCE a day and no more. Even if they sent your money out during the day, it won't update until the next business day.  I know its tough for all of us, but flooding the websites and phones at the irs is slowing the process down for everyone.
