How long after IRS transcript update does account balance show $0?

Filed my taxes a while back and my transcript finally updated. Anyone know how long it takes for the account balance to show 0.00? Getting antsy about seeing that refund hit my account

Jason Brewer

Usually takes 3-5 business days after your transcript updates for the balance to zero out. Once it hits zero, expect your refund within a week. Keep in mind this timeline can vary based on your bank and whether you're getting it direct deposit or by mail.

Hey yall instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to check my transcripts. It's only $1 and it tells you exactly when to expect your refund based on your specific situation. Way better than trying to piece everything together yourself https://taxr.ai
