Cycle Code 05 - Can updates happen Tuesday or only Friday?
Got a cycle code 05 on my transcript. wondering if theres any chance my transcript updates on tuesday or if im stuck waiting for friday every week? getting tired of waiting and checking everyday.

05 cycle codes are Friday updates only. The last two digits (05) indicate which day of the week the IRS processes your account, with 05 being Thursday night/Friday morning. No point checking before Friday morning if youre an 05.

Hey! Instead of waiting and checking everyday, you should try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect updates. Its only $1 and saved me so much stress from constant checking. https://taxr.ai

•100% works! It uses AI to read all the codes and gives you specific dates to check. Better than guessing
