I filed jointly with my wife. When going to WMR tool it sees that my wife filed but it does not have any information for me. What gives?

Our return was accepted by the IRS last week however when using the where's my refund tool it does not have any information when I put in my social. When I enter my wife's information it says that they have received the refund.

Why would this be?

A joint return is one return listing all the income, deductions, tax owed, or tax refunds for a married couple.

It will only be found using the SSN of the first taxpayer listed on the form (the "top" line on the printed return).

*Answers are correct to the best of my ability at the time of posting but do not constitute legal or tax advice.*
