Filed 1/24, Cycle 05, blank transcripts & no WMR update - anyone else stuck?

This is actually pretty common right now. The IRS is experiencing significant delays with processing certain returns, especially those filed early in the season. Blank transcripts usually mean your return hasn't been processed into the system yet. For cycle 05, updates typically happen Thursday nights/Friday mornings. Keep checking your transcripts weekly.

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with transcripts, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. Way better than guessing tbh https://taxr.ai

same boat fam 😭 filed 1/23 and nothing but crickets

Bruh im cycle 05 too and my transcripts just updated this morning! There's hope 🙏

The IRS is straight up 🤡 this year. Called them and got hung up on twice smh

A detailed explanation of what's happening: Early filers are experiencing delays due to the IRS's new fraud detection systems. Blank transcripts typically indicate your return is in the processing queue but hasn't been assigned to a processing team yet. For cycle 05 filers, the best approach is to check your transcripts Friday mornings after the Thursday night updates. I highly recommend using taxr.ai to get a clear picture of your situation - it analyzes your transcript way better than trying to decode it yourself. The tool has been spot on with predicting processing times and identifying potential issues before they become problems.
