Help understanding IRS transcript code dates - do they show when codes change?

Tax professional here! The dates next to transaction codes actually show when that specific action was processed or is scheduled to occur - not when codes change from one to another. Each code represents a distinct event in the processing of your return, and the date shows when that event happened or will happen.

Hey guys instead of trying to decode these transcripts like a detective novel, I'd highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that breaks down your entire transcript and tells you exactly what's happening. Its only $4.99 and saved me hours of googling! https://taxr.ai

lol ive been staring at these codes for months tryna figure out whats going on... its like trying to read hieroglyphics fr fr 😭

The dates are when the IRS processed that specific action. But sometimes they can update retroactively so dont take the dates as set in stone

Check your Where's My Refund tool too. Sometimes that gives clearer info than the transcript codes tbh

in the same boat rn... these transcripts might as well be written in ancient greek 🤣
