Cycle 05 filed 1/20 - no update for 2nd Friday in a row. Anyone else?

Really frustrated with my refund status. I filed on January 20th and got assigned cycle 05. Been checking WMR and transcripts religiously every friday and nothing has changed in 2 weeks. No updates, no movement, no explanations. Starting to worry something's wrong with my return.

Cycle 05 means your account updates on Thursday nights/Friday mornings. Your return is likely still in the initial processing stage. With the PATH Act, many early filers won't see updates until after Feb 15th, especially if claiming EITC or CTC. Keep checking your transcripts for any codes that might indicate where you are in the process.

Hey instead of checking obsessively like me lol, try using taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saved me tons of stress https://taxr.ai

Check your transcripts for a 570 code. that usually means theres some kinda hold up they need to review
