IRS: 'Where's My Refund?' Getting Income Tax Attention

The IRS says it's getting high traffic on its online “Where's My Refund?” tool.

 The deadline to file 2012 income tax returns isn't until April 15, but taxpayers appear to be filing early and are already asking, "Where's my refund?"  “Due to the large number of inquiries and to avoid service disruptions, the IRS strongly urges taxpayers to only check on their refunds once a day,” the IRS said, according to a report by Accounting Today. “IRS systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available whether on the Internet, IRS2go smartphone app or on IRS toll-free lines. While 'Where's My Refund?' is updated nightly, your account will not change that frequently.” -- Have you already filed your 2012 tax return? What was your experience?
