Filed MFS 1/23, transcript looks empty - no cycle code showing. Normal for Married Filing Separate?

Tax expert here - this is actually pretty normal for MFS returns in the early season. The IRS processes these returns differently than joint returns because they need to cross-reference both spouses' returns. You'll likely see movement within 2-3 weeks. Your cycle code should appear once processing begins.

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with these transcripts, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. https://taxr.ai

in the same boat! filed MFS on 1/24, blank transcript gang rise up 🙃

My transcript was blank for like 6 weeks last year with MFS. The IRS is slower than molasses with these I stg

Did either of you claim EIC? That could slow things down even more with MFS returns.

PSA: MFS returns take forever because the IRS has to match both returns. Its like trying to find matching socks in the dryer but worse 🧦
