Cycle 05 with dependents, approved but no WMR updates - what gives?

Filed my taxes with dependents and got approved with cycle code 05. Been checking WMR everyday but nothing is updating. My transcripts show the refund is approved but seriously where is my money? Anyone else stuck in this limbo with cycle 05?

Tax expert here. Cycle 05 typically updates Thursday nights/Friday mornings. If you're approved, you should see movement within 1-2 cycles. Having dependents with EIC/CTC can add additional processing time due to PATH Act verification.

In that case, you might want to verify if there are any holds or additional reviews happening. Have you checked your full transcript?

Hey, I was in the same boat last week! I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it pointed out exactly why I was stuck. Worth the $4.99 tbh - showed me my exact deposit date and explained all the weird codes. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It broke everything down and even caught something I missed about my CTC credit. Got my deposit exactly when it predicted 💯

Pro tip: stop checking WMR, it's useless rn. Transcripts are your bestfriend and they update way before WMR does.
