Cycle 05 Transcript Access - What Does This Mean for My Refund?

Finally got access to my transcript and see I'm cycle 05. Been waiting since February and just want to understand what this means for my refund timeline. Anyone else cycle 05 this year?

Cycle 05 means your transcript updates on Thursdays, with any refund typically being deposited the following Wednesday if approved. Check your transcript every Thursday morning for the most up-to-date info. Your WMR tool will usually update the following Saturday.

Hey guys instead of trying to decode these cycles manually, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $1 but it analyzes your entire transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates and your refund. Way better than guessing tbh https://taxr.ai

100% works! It told me exactly when my deposit would hit and it was spot on. Even caught some stuff I missed about my hold codes

Make sure u dont have any 570/971 codes. Those will hold up ur refund regardless of cycle
