Cycle 05 Filer - Accepted 1/24 but Transcript Still Blank - Anyone Else?

Hey there! I'm seeing this alot lately. Its totally normal for your transcript to be blank even after acceptance. The IRS systems take time to process and update - usually about 1-2 weeks after acceptance before anything shows up. For cycle code 05, your transcripts typically update Thursday nights/Friday mornings. I actually just helped someone analyze their situation using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) and it was super helpful in breaking down exactly what to expect with their cycle code and processing timeline. Saved me hours of digging through IRS docs!

Tax professional here. This is actually pretty common for early filers in 2025. The IRS is currently processing a backlog of returns and blank transcripts usually indicate your return is in the initial processing queue. Cycle 05 typically updates Thursday nights/Friday mornings, so keep checking then.

Hey guys, I was in the same boat and found this tool called taxr.ai - it actually analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect updates. Costs $1 but totally worth it for the peace of mind! https://taxr.ai

Bruh the IRS is lowkey playing games with us this year fr 🤡

I legit called them yesterday and sat on hold for 2 hrs just to be told to wait. Like thanks for nothing 🙄

try checking your account transcript instead of return transcript. sometimes that updates first
