Akousa provides fast, reliable, and independent service monitoring so you always know when a service is down.

• Automated checks every 2 minutes from distributed probe servers
• Response time measurement and latency trend analysis
• Incident detection with severity classification and timeline tracking
• Community-powered problem reports for additional signal

When IRS experiences issues, users typically encounter one or more of the following problems. Knowing what to look for helps you determine whether the issue is on your end or a widespread outage.

• Connection timeouts — The service takes too long to respond, often caused by server overload or network congestion between you and IRS.
• Slow loading or degraded performance — Pages, feeds, or content load partially or much slower than usual, indicating IRS servers are under heavy load.
• Login and authentication failures — Unable to sign in, getting "invalid credentials" errors, or being logged out repeatedly even with correct details.
• Error pages (500, 502, 503) — IRS returns server error codes, meaning backend services are failing or undergoing maintenance.
• Regional or partial outages — IRS works in some locations but not others, often due to CDN issues or localized infrastructure problems.

If IRS appears to be down, follow these steps before assuming a widespread outage. Many issues can be resolved on your end in just a few minutes.

1. 1
   Verify the outageCheck this status page to confirm IRS is actually experiencing issues. If our monitors show "operational," the problem may be local to your device or network.
2. 2
   Check your internet connectionTry loading other websites. If nothing loads, restart your router or switch from WiFi to mobile data. A quick speed test can confirm whether your connection is the issue.
3. 3
   Clear cache and cookiesOutdated cached data can cause IRS to display errors or fail to load. Clear your browser cache, or try opening IRS in an incognito/private window.
4. 4
   Try a different device or networkIf IRS works on your phone but not your computer (or vice versa), the issue is likely device-specific. Trying a different network (VPN, mobile hotspot) can bypass ISP-level blocks.
5. 5
   Wait and check backMost IRS outages are resolved within 15-60 minutes. Bookmark this page to check back for real-time updates, or enable browser notifications for instant alerts when IRS recovers.
