Cycle 05 no transcript update - Filed 1/27 - Anyone else stuck?
I have always been cycle 05 and my transcripts usually update on thursdays/fridays but nothing changed this time. Filed on January 27th and got accepted same day. Whats going on this year? Anyone else experiencing this?

The IRS has implemented stricter verification processes this year which is causing delays even for traditionally reliable cycle patterns. Cycle 05 usually updates Thursday nights/Friday mornings, but system changes and heightened security measures are causing inconsistencies. Keep monitoring your transcript daily - many are seeing random update patterns this year.

Hey guys I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually tells you exactly what's happening with your transcript and when you'll likely get paid. It costs $1 but saved me weeks of stress trying to figure this stuff out. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•100% works. It showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when it would hit my account. Was spot on!

Have you checked for any errors on your return? Sometimes that can throw off the normal cycle pattern
