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

Filed early and got accepted on January 24th. I'm cycle 05 but when I check my transcript its completely blank. Starting to get worried since its been weeks now. Anyone else experiencing this or know whats going on?

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!

its this new AI tool that analyzes your tax docs and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund. way better than trying to decode irs stuff yourself

Just tried taxr.ai and here's what I got back: It confirmed I'm on a normal processing path despite the blank transcript and gave me my exact expected deposit date! 🙌

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
