Anyone know when the next IRS transcript update happens this week?

The IRS typically updates transcripts overnight between Thursday and Friday mornings, with another update cycle between Tuesday and Wednesday. The WMR tool can lag behind your actual transcript status by several days. For a $3,700 refund, you're in the manual review threshold which can add time. If you've verified your identity and there are no issues with your return, you should see movement in the next couple weeks. Look for an 846 code on your transcript - that's the refund issued code with your deposit date. Most returns filed in March should be processed by now unless there's an issue requiring manual review. If you have access to your transcript, check for specific codes that might indicate why there's a delay.

I was in a similar situation and was getting so frustrated trying to decipher my transcript. I finally stopped playing detective and used taxr.ai to help me understand what was going on with my refund. The tool analyzed my transcript and explained everything in plain English - saved me hours of research and stress! It even predicted when I'd get my money. Honestly a game-changer if youre confused by all these codes. https://taxr.ai

I was in the exact same boat, waiting forever with no updates. After weeks of frustration I used the Claimyr calling app (claimyr.com) and finally got a real person from the IRS on the phone. They told me my return was in the errors department but just needed a quick review. Two days after talking to them my transcript updated with a DDD! Best money I've spent this year considering I was about to lose my mind checking WMR every hour lol

Updates happen based on your cycle code. Check the top of your transcript - if your cycle code ends in 05, you update Thursday nights/Friday mornings. If it ends in 02, updates happen Monday night/Tuesday morning. Some people get daily updates but most follow these weekly patterns.

Honestly, the IRS is so backed up rn its hard to predict anything. My return took 11 weeks to process and I filed in February. The updates ARE on a schedule but returns getting ASSIGNED to those update batches is completely random. Keep checking your transcript but maybe just once a week to save your sanity.

If you don't see any hold codes (570/971) on your transcript, you're probly just in the normal processing queue. My transcript was totally empty until literally the day before my refund was issued lol. I filed March 1st and got my deposit on April 14. Sometimes the system just doesnt update until everything is done.

The whole "check your transcript" advice is honestly useless for a lot of people because the transcripts dont update until AFTER your return is processed. I checked mine obsessively for weeks - nothing. Then suddenly one day everything appeared at once including my DDD. The system is completely broken.

You might be getting delayed because of the refund amount. Anything over $3,000 sometimes triggers additional review. Does your Where's My Refund status mention anything about delays or is it still just "processing"?

If ur seriously concerned, call the irs directly. I was waiting 2 months with no explanation, finally got thru after like 2 hours on hold and found out they needed additional verification of my identity. Fixed it on the call and had my refund 2 weeks later. some issues don't show up on transcripts.

Daily IRS transcript checker here 🙋‍♀️ The system updates overnight, but which night depends on your cycle code. Major updates happen Thursday nights and show Friday mornings. But there are daily updates too. I check mine obsessively around 6am and have definitely seen changes on random days.

have you verified your identity with ID.me? if not, they might have sent you a letter that got lost. that happened to me and i was waiting for months not realizing i needed to verify. check if you can access your transcripts online - if not, thats usually the issue.

I've been studying the IRS update patterns for years (sad hobby, I know). There are actually DAILY transcript updates happening in batches: - Monday morning: cycle 01 - Tuesday morning: cycle 02 (medium update) - Wednesday morning: cycle 03 - Thursday morning: cycle 04 - Friday morning: cycle 05 (MAJOR update) Most people are on either 05 (Friday) or 02 (Tuesday). You can tell which one you are by looking at the cycle code on your transcript - the last two digits tell you your cycle.

Every year we go through this same agonizing process and every year the IRS pretends like they're going to fix it. at this point I just expect my refund in june no matter when I file. the system needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up.

WAIT I just had a thought - did you claim EITC or ACTC? Because those credits automatically delay processing until at least mid-February, and then put you in a slower processing queue. My sister was in that boat and didn't get her refund until May even though she filed in January.

I got tired of trying to decode all the transcript stuff myself and used taxr.ai to help me understand what was happening with my return. It explained all the codes and gave me a timeline prediction that was spot on. So much easier than trying to figure it out yourself https://taxr.ai

I went through this exact situation last month!!! I ended up calling the IRS using Claimyr (claimyr.com) because I couldn't wait any longer. Found out they needed a document I had no idea about. Once I faxed it over my refund was processed in a week. talking to a real person saved me weeks of more waiting.

Have you checked SBTPG if you paid your filing fees through your refund? Sometimes the money is sitting there but the WMR tool doesn't update. Happened to me last year.

I know waiting sucks but from all the tax forums I follow, March filers are just now starting to see movement. The IRS is still catching up from all the returns they got in January/February (which were delayed because of the PATH act). Hang tight - as long as there are no errors on your return, you should see movement in the next 2 weeks.

Lmao welcome to IRS hell. I filed Feb 1 and just got my refund last week. No reason for the delay, no errors, nothing complicated. The system is just broken. Updates happen but they're meaningless - until you see code 846 with a date, nothing else matters.
