2024 IRS Transcript Layout Changes - Which Version Should I Check for Refund Updates?

The Account Transcript is what you want to look at for refund updates. The new layout might seem confusing but the Account Transcript shows all the important codes and updates. The Record of Account is basically a combination of everything but its overkill if youre just checking refund status. Wage/Income just shows your W2s and 1099s, and Return Transcript is just what you filed.

Instead of trying to decode these transcripts yourself, just use taxr.ai - it reads your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saves so much headache trying to figure out all these codes. https://taxr.ai

lol why they gotta make everything so complicated? its like they want us to mess up 🤡

been doing my taxes for 20 years and they keep changing stuff every year smh

anyone else notice the mobile version is completely broken? cant even login half the time

The new layout actually makes more sense once you learn it. Account transcript shows processing, Return transcript shows what you filed, Wage transcript shows income docs, Record of Account has everything combined. Its actually more organized now imo

Honestly the IRS website has always been a nightmare to navigate but this year seems especially bad. I spent way too long trying to figure out which transcript to check too. At least now I know it's the Account Transcript - wish they would just make it clearer on the actual site instead of making us guess!
