Filed 1/23, still no transcript updates - cycle code 05 no movement
Filed my taxes on January 23rd and still seeing absolutely nothing on my transcript. Its completely blank with no updates whatsoever. Been checking every week and nothing changes. Usually I'm cycle 05 based on previous years but starting to get worried about whats going on.

This isn't uncommon for early filers this year. The IRS is processing returns in batches, and cycle 05 typically updates Thursday nights/Friday mornings. Keep checking your transcript weekly. If you don't see any movement by mid-March, you might want to verify your identity through ID.me if you haven't already.

•Thanks for the info! Already verified through ID.me last year. Just frustrating seeing others who filed after me getting their refunds already 😤

•Yeah the IRS doesn't always process in order. Some returns are easier to process than others. Hang in there!

Hey everyone - I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. For $1 it gave me way more insight than I could figure out on my own. The AI explained exactly why my return was delayed and what to expect. Here's the link if anyone wants to try it: https://taxr.ai

•Totally get the concern! But yes its 100% legit. They use bank-level encryption and don't store your data. The analysis you get is super detailed - way better than trying to piece things together from reddit posts lol

Did you claim EIC or ACTC? Those credits usually delay processing until mid-Feb at the earliest due to PATH act.

•Nope, super simple return - just W2 income and standard deduction

I'd recommend calling the IRS taxpayer advocate service if you don't see movement by March 1st. The regular customer service line is useless fr fr
