Wheres my refund maybe the strongest and most sought keyword on the internet today. Especially when it is already at the end of February, only 2 month away from filling your tax report. But It seems like this Wheres my refund tool that available on IRS website has gone fishing, as some say, as some people found out that this “Wheres my refund” tool to be not working.

Inquiring minds want to know, because it’s tax time and millions are getting money back from the IRS in 2012. Thus, they are asking: Where’s my refund? Don’t panic. The IRS acknowledged the Wheres my refund glitch and asserted it will be fixed soon.

It has been reported but it is still worthy to note that if you’re looking forward to getting a fat tax return or “Wheres my refund” this year, this glitch might frighten you. Apparently, a number of anxious visitors to the Internal Revenue Service website have found the “Wheres My Refund” tool out of commission.

According to a report from The Huffington Post , filers looking for information about the status of their return received a message telling them the IRS has no record of their tax filing, even though they had already been electronically submitted.

According to a notice posted at the IRS’s website , the agency is “aware that some taxpayers who have filed electronically and received an acknowledgement from the IRS are concerned when they visit “Wheres My Refund” and are told that we have no information regarding their return. This is a temporary situation, and we expect to resolve the matter in a few days. At that time, taxpayers will be able to get an expected refund date when they visit “Wheres My Refund.”

Even though 2011 federal tax returns aren’t due until April 17, 2012 those who file early often do so to get a quick refund from the IRS. The IRS notes that most refunds are issued within 10 days for those who file returns electronically. Those filing paper returns can expect to wait weeks for their refund. Still, many want to know the status of their refund since hundreds and even thousands of dollars are often in limbo.
That’s why the IRS has set up a Web page to allow filers expecting a refund to use the agency’s “Wheres My Refund?” tool. 

The San Francisco Chronicle reported the error stems from system-wide problems related to increased safeguards put in place this year to help avoid return fraud. Under normal circumstances, the system should update every 72 hours; but users on both ends have found that this is not the case.

Even though the IRS site is not giving information about refund status, that does not mean refunds are not coming. The IRS maintained that “vast majority of tax refunds to continue to be issued within the historical range of 10 to 21 days.”

Typically, refunds that are delayed can’t be delivered because it has an old address. Sometimes taxpayers don’t realize the IRS has an older address on file, and their owed refund is floating, either with the U.S. Postal Service or it has been permanently returned. 

The IRS.gov’s “Wheres My Refund” tool gives taxpayers the status of their refunds and gives solutions for resolving delivery problems. Once you log into the site, you must provide a Social Security number, filing status and the amount of the refund owed on a previous return to gain access. Once that information is provided, all one has to do is update their address and the refund will be sent promptly, according to the IRS.

“Wheres My Refund? will usually have information about your refund 72 hours after IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed return, or three to four weeks after mailing a paper return. Check back weekly, on Wednesdays, for any updates to your refund information,” according to the IRS Web site.

The IRS suggests that to avoid having to ask, “Wheres My Refund?” that taxpayers simply use direct deposit of a refund into their checking or savings account. The IRS also suggests electronic tax return filing to eliminate loss risk through the mail. In other words — think “E,” as in electronic.
