WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Internal Revenue Service has a message for taxpayers eager to learn the status of their tax refund: Please don't check the IRS website every five minutes -- once a day is enough.
The IRS says its "Where's my refund?" website and smartphone app are being overwhelmed by eager taxpayers. The agency says its systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available on the website, the IRS2go smartphone app and IRS toll-free phone lines.
The IRS provides three updates: when the tax return is received, when the refund is approved and when the refund is sent. To avoid delays, the agency says the best time to check on refunds is evenings and weekends.
"I think what we're seeing is just part of the natural evolution in the refund process," said IRS

NO they took it.
Noone gives them anything. They take their money from your paychecks. Even though the I.R.S. is an illegal agency, the amendment they depend upon to exist has never been ratified, they coerce your employer into deducting amounts from your wages and sending them to D.C. and to where the other agencies exist.
But since we ALLOW them to operate, illegally, in a sense you are correct. We have GIVEN them our monies to do as they wish.
