The buttons just redirect you to the web browser to use the website. I haven't tried tracking my refund status. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-01, version 6.3.1* Always says incorrect information entered even though I know my refund amount is correct. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-27, version 6.3.1* Does absolutely nothing ### 3/5 — It’s just a return/refund checker *2026-04-18, version 6* There’s no way to actually sign in. It just keeps linking to open up a browser portal. It’s just a one trick pony. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-15, version 6* Won’t even let you log in. Takes you to browser to sign in and never kicks you back to the app. Absolutely useless. ### 1/5 — Today is the day *2026-04-15, version 6* I just want to congratulate the Rothschild Kazarian Mafia owned IRS on your theft of the American people. Happy national extortion day! 🎉🎊 ### 2/5 — Pointless *2026-04-14, version 6* It’s just a bunch of links that take you to the IRS site. Pointless app. ### 1/5 — Does not work as well as the old one! *2026-04-02, version 6* I have tried to track my refund several times this morning with the new updated app, and it is simply not working properly. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me delete *2026-03-27, version 5.6.9* Do not use!!!! ### 1/5 — Limits? *2026-03-10, version 5.6.9* It will be a new day and I’ll check my status of my taxes, I get a pop up of you have reached daily limit. I didn’t even check it yet! Horrible. ### 1/5 — Terrible experience *2026-03-09, version 5.6.9* App worked for about a month and now I just get an Error message every time I try to login!!!!! Had to go website on my laptop App is a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-06, version 5.6.9* Horrible like everything else the government runs. Never is accurate and constantly says error. Our tax dollars are going to Israel anyways ### 2/5 — Annoying *2026-03-02, version 5.6.9* I can never sign in to see my refund it always says account not found n I put in the correct info everytime. I just got my state today n wanted to check my federal n can’t because I can’t sign in… ### 1/5 — Err code *2026-02-24, version 5.6.9* Been using this app since the app came available.. now it’s trash… I will uninstall… not worth using ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-02-20, version 5.6.9* I used this app the last 7 years. I would wait 1 day to check my status on my return. This year I waited 1 day and when I put my info in it would say wrong info and I put it back in then it came back on the second time and said I’m over my limit check back tomorrow. WTF. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-07, version 6.3.1* DO NOT! I REPEAT NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It’s nothing but putting on a front to get your personal information as well as social security number. Every time I “fill out” the questionnaire so I can log into my account. There’s always some reason a computer. So I opted to do a phone call to prove who I was and phone call never came.. I hate for someone else to waste your time. The way I did. I actually was a little concerned wondering if owed backpay in taxes to yourself a favor and don’t even try it. ### 1/5 — Not much history *2026-07-24, version 6.3.1* Wish it would go back more than three years since I’m still trying to get my refund from 2021 and when I call the automated system says it’s too busy and just hangs up on me. ### 1/5 — trash *2026-07-21, version 6.3.1* It’s been almost a year since we filed our taxes, and we still haven’t received our refund. I’m a legit taxpayer, yet it feels like people committing fraud get their refunds faster than those of us who follow the rules. How can be your system so trash? or it your workers? ### 1/5 — It’s a joke *2026-06-15, version 6.3.1* Everything you click on just redirects you out of the app and back to the irs.gov website - which also isn’t working properly. WHAT A JOKE! ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2026-06-13, version 6.3.1* i’m failing to understand why I still have this app, when every button I click takes me to the website. I can’t pay. I can’t check my refund— it goes to the website. So I’ll just delete the app? Taxation is theft, how am I supposed to pay my taxes if you won’t let me? What a joke. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-06-13, version 6.3.1* I like the app but you can actually view your irs account, it directs you straight to the website, you can make a payment, why make an app that directs you back to the webpage, it would be better if you could access all the website functions all in the app without haven’t to go back to a webpage, at this point this app is useless. As much money as the government has, they could really make an app that can function well… ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-05, version 6.3.1* App locks you out for 24 hours after ONE failed attempt. Taxation is theft. ### 1/5 — The quality you’d expect from the gummint *2026-05-26, version 6.3.1* Checking refund status gives generic error. Is it because I can’t enter digits after decimal point to match refund amount exactly? Who knows. Useless for me. ### 1/5 — Error Message *2026-05-22, version 6.3.1* I have been waiting for my refund for months. I filed in January 2026. Mailed in. The website gives me no update. And now with the app, I get an error message. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-04, version 6.3.1* It’s don’t work and not one will never Pick up the phone :-(. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More Than Either Reason *2026-07-30, version 6.3.1* IRS2Go is a very optimized, click-done app. I downloaded it during the pandemic's emergency funding check stage, and basically it's the one-function booster action you'd use to check your status. Therein, one negative: IRS2Go is the only official Internal Revenue Service mobile app, and only official system apps can access infrastructure services, however, it only determines your current taxpayer status. You download the app you sent in your tax money, and IRS2Go lets you know whether you're pending, finished, late, done for, etc.. Awesome. You would think so up front, same, if the app's existence was common knowledge: 'Download the official notification.' You get there, you know? It's kind of surprising there's a government system app, really, and the blankness makes the protocol worthy. Thus, IRS2Go's greatness: Having rhe app on your home iPhone is basically like having a digital Social Security card certifying your digital wallet. It makes you feel 'defense worthy', impressive, with no data strain. Deactivate it, leave it in the App Library, and enjoy the unique app experience idly imposed. You notice to remember it exists on a rainy day, maybe a year later. ### 5/5 — I have a thieve a illegal non us citizen robbing my Identy trying to robbing the irs for fraud *2026-04-15, version 6* Please no refunds in Terrence Leon harmons name it’s all fraud like social security fraud and has over 200 illegal immigrants on west little creek road all squatting and illegally stealing codes to Norfolk Va police I’ve homeland and has blocked all my emails to the irs and blocked all my Medicare cards from being sent to Bank of America my survivors benefits ### 5/5 — Mailed in my 2025 tax refund *2026-03-26, version 5.6.9* My tax refund was sent in on feb 14 by mail, is it being processed ### 5/5 — Downloaded *2026-03-11, version 5.6.9* Been great to check update on IRS refund or pay a bill.
